Blessing Bags for the Homeless Community — October 17 Join us on Monday, October 17, at 9:00 AM as we serve our neighbors through Blessing Bags for the Homeless Community. This compassionate outreach will focus on providing useful supplies, encouragement, and kindness to individuals experiencing homelessness in the Des Moines area. Volunteers will help prepare and distribute blessing bags at a Des Moines homeless shelter and through street outreach, allowing us to meet people where they are and remind them that they are seen, valued, and cared for. This event is open to church members, families, young adults, and anyone who wants to serve the community practically. Bring your heart for service and join us as we turn faith into action. Together, we can share hope, dignity, and the love of Christ with our neighbors.
