We are so thankful for the 250+ individuals who serve with Hope Ministries on a committed basis…weekly, monthly or quarterly. We call them our M25 volunteers, based on Matthew 25:35-40. M25 volunteers teach classes, lead chapel, serve meals, help at our administrative office and more! Scroll down to check out some of our current most-needed volunteer roles!

We serve around 500+ free meals every day—breakfast, lunch and dinner! We will especially need additional meal serving help once our new Hope Center is open.
We can always use an extra pair of hands to help accept and sort donations at our Hope Ministries Thrift locations (4640 Merle Hay Rd. in Urbandale and 500 E. Army Post Rd. in Des Moines).
If you’re interested in leading church groups, corporate teams and other groups in pre-designed team-building activities that raise awareness about homelessness and the programs we offer, ask about our new escape room!
Our Hope Ministries Drop-In Center (open weekdays, 8 a.m. to noon) welcomes all who need some extra assistance in the community with shower facilities, public computers and a phone charging station, refreshments and more. We’re looking for individuals willing to help offer hospitality in this space alongside our outreach case manager!
