The Des Moines Area Religious Council (DMARC) Food Pantry Network consists of 14 partner pantries, and nearly 30 mobile food pantry sites that assist nearly 56,000 unique individuals annually in Central Iowa. Those who utilize the DMARC pantry do so on average only 4 times in one year. DMARC continues to be part of a safety net for our community, helping those in need when that need occurs. The majority of people receiving food assistance through the DMARC Food Pantry Network are women, children, and adults over 60, with 1 of 3 of those helped being children. Food pantry visitors represent diverse religious, cultural, regional, and ethnic backgrounds. An estimated 95% of food pantry users have household incomes at or below 185% of the federal poverty level. Please consider giving to those not as fortunate as ourselves.
