Meals from the Heartland (WDMCC Hunger Fight)

  • West Des Moines Christian Church 4501 Mills Civic Parkway West Des Moines, IA, 50265 United States (map)

WDMCC & Meals from the Heartland are teaming up on Saturday, July 13th from 10:00 am to noon for the 2024 WDMCC Hunger Fight! Our goal is to package 20,000 meals that day, and with many ways to participate, we’ll need your help to make it happen:

  • Donations: The cost to produce one Hearty Pack meal is just $0.29 ($1.74 per six-serving bag). To meet our 20,000 meal goal, we’ll need to raise around $5,800 as a congregation. You can donate through the church office or via the “GIVE” tab at wdmcc.org.

  • Packagers: On the day of the Hunger Fight, we’ll need several volunteers to serve on the packaging lines, working as a team to fill the meal bags with each ingredient.

  • Bucket Brigade: We’ll need volunteers to help keep the packaging tables continuously restocked with supplies.

  • Set-Up / Clean-Up: We’ll need volunteers to help unload and load the delivery truck, set up and tear down packaging lines, and assemble boxes.

Meals from the Heartland is a Christian organization who believes that all of God’s children are deserving of the basic necessities of life, including a healthy and nutritious meal. WDMCC is excited to partner together in the work of loving our neighbors throughout Iowa and around the world! (Find out more about the impact of Meals from the Heartland’s work below.)
