Mission
Statement
The
Des Moines Area Religious Council is an interfaith organization
that exists to provide a common means of responding to basic human needs in ways
single congregations can not do; also providing a context for interfaith
dialogue, support, education, and fellowship and serving as a liaison between
DMARC member congregations and the greater Des Moines Community. |
|
| |
|
We seek to
carry out this mission by: |
|
- A program that subsidizes the cost of
child care for qualified
working families.
|
| |
- A program of financial assistance for
non-food related
emergencies.
|
|
- A program that makes free food
available for needy persons
through eight
pantry sites.
Needed Food
List
|
| |
- A collaborative effort of core
leaders in education, business,
human services, religion and youth
charities that nurtures the
growth and development, academic
achievement, and the
hope of urban youth.
"The
Magic of Mentoring - And the Results!"
