Disciples Women GA2019 Service Project
Disciples Women will be supporting Dorothy’s House of Des Moines, IA as our GA2019 service project. They provide a safe place for the practice of life for survivors of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation. It is a long term, residential home that provides survivors with the space, resources, and support needed to find their healing journey. Every survivor has a unique set of needs and personal goals. They strive to provide the resources that will most specifically fit her plan.
If you would like to support this project we are asking for grocery store gift cards preferably for Hy-Vee, but all grocery stores in the area are good options. Others suggested are Aldi, Fareway, and Price Chopper. The gift cards will be used for the whole house and not for individuals. You can drop them off at the Disciples Women booth by 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 23.
