With the help of Prairie Van and Storage, all the donations collected with be brought to Lutheran Church of Hope West Des Moines, and at the end of the food drive, all the food will help out the local families and residents. And as an incentive, if 500lbs of food or more is collected, BHHS First Realty is going to host a BBQ for the residents to enjoy.

“We are excited for this food drive with BHHS First Realty,” says Adam Lowy, Executive Director of Move For Hunger. “And we can’t wait for the BBQ that I know they’re going to share with the community.”
