This holiday season, United Way of Central Iowa is collecting food and personal-care items for our HOPE families. You can help us by donating specific items requested to meet these families' needs.
Items can be dropped off November 28-December 9 at United Way of Central Iowa, 1111 9th Street, Suite 100, Des Moines.
Your donations will brighten the season for our HOPE families—single-parent families who are struggling to make ends meet and who face barriers such as homelessness, food insecurity, lack of transportation, limited education, and extreme poverty.
The HOPE Initiative is a multi-generational, integrated, and comprehensive approach to connecting these families with the resources they need in education, income and health.
Thank you for your generous support. Great things happen when we LIVE UNITED!
