CHRISTMAS EVE COLLECTION
Our traditional Christmas Eve collection will be for the Des Moines Catholic Worker House again this year. The collection will help with remodeling and maintenance projects for the Dingman House. In a kitchen sized for a single family, the staff and volunteers prepare roughly 600-750 pounds of hot food each week. The guests also have access to canned and packaged food, blankets, clothing, and personal hygiene items.

Checks can be written either to “DMIEC” with “CWH remodeling” in the memo line OR to the “Catholic Worker House Fund,” with “CWH remodeling” on the memo line. The Catholic Worker House Fund is a 501(c)(3) foundation. If you are not attending the Christmas Eve Service, please mail checks to DMIEC, PO Box 30065, Des Moines, Iowa 50310. We prefer that all checks be mailed to DMIEC.
