Volunteer Groups

Every year, hundreds of groups from around Iowa, and even out-of-state, come to Des Moines to serve the homeless and hungry through Hope Ministries' many volunteering opportunities. We have a number of opportunities designed specifically for groups who desire to volunteer both on a one-time and ongoing basis. We have groups coming from churches, corporations, families, civic service clubs and other organizations.

We invite your group to review the opportunities listed below to learn about how you can help. Then, feel free to fill out our Volunteer Groups application. Our volunteer coordinator will contact you after we receive your application.
