November is the month of greatest strain on local area food pantries as the number of neighbors who are food-insecure increases coming into the winter/holiday season. Des Moines Area Religious Council—a longtime local mission partner of WDMCC—unites faith communities from around the metro to meet the need. DMARC is hosting a benefit concert called “Songs of Gratitude” at WDMCC on Sunday, November 2nd at 6:30pm in the Sanctuary and invites attendees to bring cash or non-perishable food donations to support the food pantry network. During the concert, faith communities from all over Des Moines (including WDMCC) will share a favorite song of gratitude. Hope to see you there!
