Reverse Collection at Our Lady’s:
For more than twenty years baskets have been passed once a month at Our Lady’s, for a reverse collection to benefit local pantries. More than 6,000 items and $500 are collected each year. The majority of the items collected are donated to DMARC Food Pantry Network, which is then distributed around the Des Moines metro area. In an effort to increase our impact in Ankeny, beginning last fall a portion of each month’s donations are taken to the Community Resources Center in Ankeny.
Non-perishable food items like diapers, formula, peanut butter, canned tuna & chicken, fruit in water, cereal, pasta, and more are a wonderful donation - but cash & money donations go further!
FoodBank of Iowa can stretch that money further than we can, so consider making cash donations each month!
