SUMMARY:First Sunday Collection - Boundless Compassion
DESCRIPTION:The proceeds of our January 7 “First Sunday” collection will benefit Boundless Compassion. Founded by Sr. Joyce Rupp\, Boundless Compassion is a network of programs\, retreats\, writings\, practices and people that encourage healthy self-compassion\, explore compassionate living\, and offer creative ways to nurture and sustain compassion. Over 100 Boundless Compassion Facilitators from North America and United Kingdom lead retreats and programs that foster compassion as a way of life. Our collection will support the costs of designing a program that invites and involves more diverse Boundless Compassion Facilitators to cross boundaries that have limited their compassionate outreach\, which is primarily middle-class and white females. The organization is currently engaged with the Center of the Heart consulting firm in Atlanta\, Georgia\, to provide strategic implementation of diversity\, equity\, inclusion\, and belonging into the organization’s structure\, expanded recruiting of more diverse facilitators\, and connecting with other diverse organizations committed to bringing compassion into our communities and the world. The cost projections are from $5\,000-$10\,000 in addition to hundreds of volunteer hours working with Center of the Heart. Boundless Compassion is solely funded by grants and membership fees. For more information\, visit boundlesscompassion.org. \nCHECKS SHOULD BE MAILED TO: \nDMIEC\, P.O. Box 30065\, Des Moines\, IA 50310 \nChecks can be written either to “Boundless Compassion” or to “DMIEC” with “First Sunday” in the memo line. \nWe would prefer that all checks be mailed to DMIEC. If you mail your check directly to the organization\, please inform Susan Barnes of the amount\, if you feel comfortable\, so the Social Justice Committee can get an accurate count of donations.

SUMMARY:DMARC Emergency Food Pantries Sunday Special Collection
DESCRIPTION:Our DMIEC community works to address food insecurity issues in the Des Moines metro area via a special collection for the DMARC Emergency Food Pantries on the fourth Sunday of every month. \nThe need is real. The fiscal year just ended was the busiest in DMARC emergency food pantries’ nearly 50-year history  The 22\,000 people assisted in June 2023 was the second highest number on record. 1 in 6 City of Des Moines residents used a food pantry in 2022. \nAnd that need has not subsided. The combination of inflated food prices\, an end to COVID benefits\, and lingering pandemic hardships is driving more people to seek assistance at the pantry.  For recent info about local food needs and services\, please click here and here. \nFor more information\, please visit the DMARC Food Pantries website https://www.dmarcunited.org/food/\nRead DMARC’s most recent quarterly newsletter here. \nTwo ways to donate: \nVia special envelopes available at DMIEC on in-person fourth Sundays. Please write checks to “DMARC\,” include a note with/on your check indicating that you are part of the DMIEC community\, put the check in the envelope\, and put the envelope in the collection basket. \nSend donation checks directly to DMARC. Please write checks to “DMARC” and mail to DMARC at its *new address*\, 100 Army Post Road\, Des Moines\, IA 50315. Please include a note with your check indicating that you are part of the DMIEC community.
