Donation Needs

Each year at our Back-to-School Giveaway, we gather and use various school supplies to fill grade-appropriate backpacks for students in the Des Moines metro area. Student backpacks can be found at one of the 13 food pantries in the Des Moines Area Religious Council’s food pantry network.

Donations are always needed and gladly received. Financial donations are most helpful or donations of the following supplies are also accepted:

  • toothbrush and tooth paste
  • rulers
  • pencils
  • markers
  • glue sticks
  • Kleenex
  • paper notebooks
  • 3-ring binders
  • books

If you’d like to drop off items, contact 515-279-8877 to arrange an appointment.
Please make sure to state who donated the items!
