Competitive Drives Raise Over $5,000

Last week, a number of companies around Greater Des Moines held competitive Iowa vs. Iowa State food drives, leading up to Saturday’s game. In total, over $5,000 and nearly 2,000 food items were raised for the DMARC Food Pantry Network through their efforts! When we come together to support a good cause, everyone wins.

We would like to thank the following organizations that supported DMARC through a competitive drive:

• The Dana Company: 603 food items
• Ligutti Tower, Newbury Living: 265 food items
• Lincoln Savings Bank: 140 food items
• McGowen, Hurst, Clark & Smith: $254
• NCMIC Group: $2,260 and 300 food items
• The Stelter Company: $2,662.25 and 86 food items
• Wellmark BlueCross & BlueShield of Iowa: 412 food items, 200 diapers, 54 personal care items, 180 feminine hygiene products
