SUMMARY:First Sunday Collection – Building Lives Through Reading
DESCRIPTION:May’s “First Sunday” collection will benefit Building Lives Through Reading (“BLTR”).  After hearing from elementary teachers in the Des Moines Public Schools (DMPS) that literacy is their greatest concern\, a small group of friends established Building Lives Through Reading to give direct support “in our backyard.” This initiative is Des Moines-based and focused\, purchasing books for students in the most impoverished elementary schools by working with DMPS. (DMPS has the buying\npower and purchases books chosen for distribution.) BLTR distributed about 5\,000 books this school year\, nine books per student in grades K-5 at Edmunds and grades K-2 at Capitol View (which has more students than Edmunds). Our First Sunday donations would go directly to purchase books chosen by teachers and librarians. BLTR wants to add 2 more schools in the DMPS system next year and include the upper grades of Capitol View. \nBLTR has identified data on poverty and literacy\, diversity and literacy\, and crime and literacy affecting our DMPS. They report that children of poverty have lower literacy rates\, more than one in five DMPS students are learning English as a second language\, and a 1% increase in graduation rate of male students saves $1.4 billion on the national level and decreases the rate of violent crimes.\nFor more information on BLTR\, visit  https://www.facebook.com/BuildingLivesthroughReadingDM.\nChecks should be placed in the May 5 collection basket or mailed to: DMIEC\, P.O. Box 30065\, Des Moines\, IA 50310  Write checks either to “Des Moines Public Schools” with “Building Lives Through Reading” in the memo line\, or to “DMIEC” with “First Sunday” in the memo line. First Sunday checks must be received by DMIEC by May 20th; if you elect to contribute to the First Sunday recipient after that date\, please mail your check (made payable with “DMIEC” in the memo line) directly to the organization at 3775 E.P. True Pkwy\, Suite 162\, West Des Moines\, IA 50265 and\, if comfortable\, let DMIEC’s Social Justice Committee Chair Kathy Eastman know the amount to assist in recording our community’s giving.  If you have questions about how to donate or would like to donate using the ACH withdrawal feature\, please contact Susan Barnes (checks) or Jeanine Freeman (ACH) of the Finance Committee.  (Info about ACH is available here.) Thank you for your support!

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.  In 2023\, over 65\,000 individuals were assisted\, more than a third of whom were 17 years old or younger.  Nearly one in four City of Des Moines residents used a DMARC pantry.  The daily record for most visits on a day was broken 23 times last year. \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. \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.
