Partnership
Each year, The Ridge provides ALL the milk ALL year long at Hope Ministries' community meal site, where they serve over 300 meals a day. That’s over 135 gallons a month!
Two Ways to Serve
Serve meals: Hope Ministries serves three free meals to community members every day at their community meal site, connected to Bethel Mission men’s emergency shelter at 1310 6th Avenue, Des Moines.
Volunteers from The Ridge serve help serve these meals on the fourth Thursday and Friday of each month. We meet at the church parking lot at 3:30 for those who want to carpool.
Those just getting off work downtown can meet us at Bethel Mission at 4 p.m.
Anyone age 13 and older is welcome to serve (though those under 18 are encouraged to serve with a parent).
