Deliver meals around Des Moines--Serving as a driver team is a great opportunity for families with younger children, church groups and other teams of people willing to deliver meals around the Des Moines area. You'll need a larger vehicle and some form of GPS, and you should be comfortable praying with others. The time commitment is 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

To sign up for either of the above opportunities, please fill out our online registration form.
