Every single person has the opportunity to make a positive difference in their community.

Doug Woods was one such person who found delight in giving and made a lasting difference in his community. This March (March 1 – 31), take the challenge for the 12th annual Douglas M. Woods Hunger Challenge. Your gift will be matched! The Douglas M. Woods Memorial Hunger Challenge is sponsored by the family of Mr. Woods and an anonymous donor.  DMARC is grateful for their continued support.

DMARC will forever be inspired by and grateful for his spirit of generosity. Although Doug would not say this, his life was one of service. He served his country in the Vietnam War and served his community as a deputy sheriff for Madison County and then as a police officer with the West Des Moines Police Department, retiring after 25 years.

We are truly grateful to the family of Douglas M. Woods who has decided to carry on his legacy. Learn more about Doug’s life here.
