“Alone, we can make a difference. Together, we can change the world.”

Although we offer many different class formats at our studios, Power Life’s foundation is and always will be yoga. The word “yoga” translates to union or yoke. So, while yoga can surely help you better yourself on an individual level, it also provides an opportunity for people from all walks of life to come together to make the world a better place. Power Life knows that it’s people who make our studios thrive, and that’s why we believe it is important to support the areas where our students live and work. We are thrilled to support DMARC this November to raise funds, food and awareness for those in need in the Des Moines community. Thank you for your support, and thank you for being the change you wish to see in the world!

DMARC's mission is the meet the basic human needs of the greater Des Moines community and fighting food insecurity is its most visible contribution.Today, the 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 currently utilize the DMARC pantry do so on average only 4 times during the course of one year. By and large, people use a pantry when they must, but no more. DMARC continues to be part of a safety net for our community, helping those in need when that need occurs. Women, children, and adults over 60 comprise the majority of people receiving food assistance through the DMARC Food Pantry Network. One in three people assisted by DMARC are 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.
