In-Kind Gifts

Your donations help meet daily needs and support Hope Ministries’ programs.

Why In-Kind Gifts?

When you donate in-kind items, you’re helping us meet the needs of neighbors who are struggling. Clothing, food, furniture, and household goods are used daily in our shelters and recovery programs — or sold in Hope Ministries Thrift stores to directly fund services.

Food Donations

Bring non-perishable or fresh food directly to our Bethel Mission (1310 6th Avenue, Des Moines). These donations go straight into the hundreds of free meals served each day.

Donation Drives

Churches, schools, civic groups and businesses often help by coordinating donation drives for needed supplies. We’re grateful for these efforts! Please contact us first so we can share our current needs and provide any helpful materials.

Call (515) 265-7272 or email info@hopeiowa.org.

Other Gifts

You can also give in other ways — like donating a car, truck, or van, or by making a gift of stock or other non-cash assets. Vehicle donations can be started online: Donate Your Vehicle →
