Love INC Des Moines serves families and individuals who live in Des Moines or attend one of their partner churches. To get started, call the Connection Center at (515) 244-1701 Monday through Thursday between 9:00 am and 12:00 pm. A caring volunteer will listen to your situation and connect you with the right source of help, whether that's a referral to a community agency or support through a partner church.
Love INC isn't a crisis center, so it can take up to a week to process a request.
Through Gap Ministries, Love INC partners with local churches to help meet a wide range of needs, including food, personal care items, furniture, and transportation. Volunteers called Allies can also walk alongside you for appointments and offer ongoing encouragement.
The Essential Life Pathways program offers group classes on topics like budgeting, parenting, and Bible study, giving you a chance to learn alongside others in a supportive setting.
If you'd like someone to pray for or with you, call (515) 244-1701.
You can give online through their donate page or send a check by mail to Love INC Des Moines, PO Box 41188, Des Moines, IA 50311. For questions, email info@loveincdesmoines.org.
To get started, fill out the Volunteer Interest Form on their website. Once they receive it, the team will reach out about a formal application and Love INC 101 training. You can also check the Events page to register for a Discover Love INC or Love INC 101 session. Volunteer roles include Receptionist, Intake Volunteer, Ally, and Budget Coach or Teacher.
