“Thank you so much for helping me and my family for transitioning into Des Moines. For giving us a clean house, food, and support in every way. Your staff and volunteers are kind, caring people. Thanks for the transportation, medical help, information, clothes and toiletries. I’m grateful for the time and support you all gave me and my two kids. I hope to volunteer for your facility in the near future.”
