Opportunities for churches and church groups
Dairy Donors: We’re looking for families or small groups who will commit to donate a specific list of about $50 worth of perishable items to our Door of Faith men’s recovery center once a month.
Saturday Childcare: We need groups of 10 (high school age and older) to nurture children at our Hope Center for Women and Children while their moms are in a sewing/craft class from 9:15 to 11:30 a.m. on the second Saturday of each month.
1st Friday Family Fun Night: This takes place at our Hope Center from 6 to 7:45 p.m. on the first Friday of each month. Plan activities of your own or make use of the games we have available. We’ll ask that you supply light refreshments.
Work projects at Hope Ministries Thrift: One of our greatest ongoing needs for hands-on help is in our thrifty ministry. We’re looking for groups to complete various projects in and around our stores throughout the year.
Hope Experience: This new opportunity allows church groups to participate in an interactive Zoom presentation. Over the course of 45 minutes, groups will get a special inside look at our Life Recovery Programs that are helping men and women transform their lives! Sign up here.
Contact us at (515) 265-7272 or info@hopeiowa.org if you are interested in any of these opportunities.
Corners of Your Field
Corners of Your Field is a partnership opportunity between local churches and Hope Ministries Thrift. Corners of Your Field encourages attendees of our partner churches to be intentional about donating their gently used household items to Hope Ministries Thrift. Our stores then return a portion of the value of these items in the form of gift cards to your church to help struggling individuals and families directly in your care.
Feed Your Neighbor this September
September is “Feed Your Neighbor” month! Your church can help us feed hungry Central Iowans by selecting one Sunday in September to ask members of your church to donate $1.85, which is the cost of one meal and care at Hope Ministries. How many meals can your church provide? We have several resources for promoting Feed Your Neighbor, including a video and flier. Just hit the button below for more info.
