The Giving Table, Culturally Appropriate Food Giveaway 

Genesis Youth Foundation, Imani Family Church, and Polk County Board of Supervisors are pleased to announce a holiday food grocery giveaway on December 11, 2021. The Giving Table Food Giveaway will feature culturally appropriate food that is familiar to African refugee and immigrant families, although anyone in central Iowa experiencing food insecurity is welcome to receive food, while supplies last.
 

The availability of culturally sensitive food is important because it not only addresses issues of food insecurity, but basic dignity as well. Access to food that is familiar and that people know how to prepare is important, particularly during the holidays where food takes on special significance for many different cultures.

Volunteers will either be helping families check-in or handing out and organizing the groceries. We will also need some assistance breaking down the tables after the event and/or storing groceries if there are any leftovers. 

If you'd like to volunteer as a YPC member, you must register in advance through the Young Professionals Connection’s website to participate. YPC only has a limited number of volunteer spots secured for the 10:30AM-12:00PM shift. 
Genesis Youth Foundation has their own sign up link for volunteers, but if you are signing up through YPC you do not need to fill out their registration link.

Location:
Hope+Elim Building, 2500 University Avenue, Des Moines, IA, 50311
