Resource Program

What we can provide

Our resource closet is stocked with diapers, wipes, maternity clothes, hygiene products, baby clothing, and other everyday items families need during pregnancy and the early years.

What is on the shelves changes with what has been donated, so it is worth asking even if you are not sure we carry something. If we do not have it, we can often point you to someone who does.

Who qualifies

The program is open to women who are pregnant and to parents of children under three. You do not need to prove income, and there is no fee.

Whether you need help every month or only once during a hard stretch, you are welcome. Many families use the resource program alongside our parenting classes, which can earn additional items.

Come take a look

You are welcome to stop in for a tour of either center and see the resource closet for yourself before joining. Some people find that easier than committing over the phone.

Our team will show you around, explain how the program works, and answer your questions without any pressure to sign up. If you would rather start with a phone call, that is fine too.

Free and confidential in Des Moines and Ankeny

Everything in our resource program is provided free of charge, and what you share with our team stays confidential. You will be served without regard to age, race, income, nationality, religious affiliation, disability, or other arbitrary circumstances.
