 In addition to feeding our homeless guests at our Bethel Mission, Door of Faith and Hope Family Center facilities each and every day, we also provide three meals a day to anyone in the general community 365 days a year with two staggered meals on Sundays served at our dining hall located at our Bethel Mission hall facility located at 1310 – 6th avenue.

Hope Ministries’ scope of outreach to homeless and hungry people in central Iowa is extensive. Additional information can be found on this website.
Through our speaker’s bureau and monthly community awareness tours and luncheons we strive to educate the public and increase awareness regarding homelessness in central Iowa, statewide and nationally.
One resource to involve the general public is our ADMIT 1 – FREE TICKETS. Each year thousands are distributed by Hope Ministries to the community during presentations to civic and service organizations, churches and corporations.
We encourage members of the community to hand out this ticket in lieu of money since substance abuse and addictions are common among the homeless. If the person you encounter needs food, clothing, shelter, medical treatment, work, counseling or guidance, this ticket points them in the right direction. If a referral is required, we collaborate routinely with other service agencies throughout the community.
Thanks for partnering with us in tending to the needs of the homeless, hungry and hurting in Des Moines and central Iowa.
