VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES

Please join us for our next volunteer event:

Where?  Meals from the Heartland , 357 Lincoln St., West Des Moines

When?  Tuesday, May 16, 2023 from 6-8 pm  (with an optional pre-game and after party** )

What?  Packaging meals in teams for 6-10.   Several roles are available, many can be dusty/messy - wear comfortable shoes.  Do not volunteer if you have a soy allergy.

Why?  Food insecurity is a huge issue from Des Moines to our neighbors around the world.  Depending on what we are packaging that day, your efforts could be feeding people close by or in a number of other countries.

How?  Sign up below and we'll take care of the group registration.  If plans change or you have questions, email desmoinesafwa@gmail.com   Watch for reminders and more information.  

Cost?  Volunteering is free, however, please consider making a personal donation to Meals from the Heartland as each individual will package about $100 worth of ingredients during a volunteer shift.  Opportunities to donate via credit card will be available at the event.

** Pre-game event at the Hall.  Come join us for conversation (and buy-your-own beverage or food) starting at 4 pm - sneak out of work early and avoid traffic.   Rumor has it that an after party may break out at a pub in Valley Junction.

Being involved and supporting our community is very important to AFWA.  Members of the AFWA Des Moines Chapter participate in volunteering opportunities throughout the year. Details of upcoming volunteer opportunities along with sign up sheets to attend can be found here.  

STAY TUNED FOR FUTURE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
