how can you help?

Would you like to donate food to the pantry?
We need to stock the pantry with nonperishable foods to feed the hungry. Place your donations in the shopping carts located at the north and south entrances. Monetary donations are also accepted in the office, online, or the offering plate. Monetary donations will continue to be given to DMARC when this is identified on your check.
Would you like to pick up donated food from Costco on Sundays or help sort that food?
​Through our partnership with the Food Bank of Iowa, we receive up to 500 lbs. of food from Costco in Ankeny weekly. The food must be picked up between 10:00 & 11:30 am on Sundays and brought to the church where it can be unloaded in the food pantry. Then we need folks to help sort and shelve the food so it is ready to distribute on Tuesdays.
Would you like to tend to the Holy Trinity Gardens?
Holy Trinity has several garden beds on the church property that are tended and cared for by the Garden Team. Contact Pastor Travis if you'd like to help with the gardens.

    Volunteer with the food pantry
Would you like to help during food pantry hours on Tuesdays?
  1. We need a consistent group of volunteers to help during Tuesday operating hours. Volunteers are needed for two-hour shifts from 12:00 to 6:00 pm. We need volunteers with a passion for serving others, caring for the poor, and showing generous hospitality to others. Please complete the "Volunteer to Help" form if you would like to volunteer at the Food Pantry.
  2. Volunteers working with Holy Trinity Food Pantry guests must be 18 years old or older and members of the congregation. Younger individuals can volunteer with their families for sorting cans and stocking shelves. Arrangements need to be made through the Food Pantry coordinators.
Thank you for supporting this ministry. Our congregation is invested in caring for the hungry and you have grown our hunger ministry to this point.
