Children and Family Urban Movement provides free meals, educational support, and family services to underserved communities in Des Moines. Every donation directly supports local families in need.
Our Purpose
To nourish communities and build futures by providing meal programs, educational support, and family services to those in need. We believe every family deserves access to nutritious food, quality education, and a supportive community.
A community where no family goes hungry, every child has access to educational opportunities, and neighbors support one another through life's challenges. We envision lasting change through compassion, collaboration, and commitment.
Compassion - We serve with empathy. Community - We build connections. Commitment - We create lasting change.
