Description: The Plymouth Homeless Assistance Team (HAT) at Plymouth United church of Christ coordinates meals, goods, and furniture distribution to assist homeless people in Des Moines. Every month, the team assembles 50 sack lunches for Central Iowa Shelter and Services, prepares and cooks 40 breakfast casseroles (delivered by the Salvation Army Canteen), stocks 24 “Youth Bags,” which include personal hygiene products, seasonal items (gloves, socks, mosquito repellant) and snacks for the Iowa Homeless Youth Center, and collects donations of pet food to support those in need to care for their pets. Each year, Plymouth dedicates its Thanksgiving offering to HAT in order to assist in the funding of not only the food and furniture distribution programs, but also for grants designated to approximately nine local agencies, which provide food, shelter, and emergency / transitional housing to adults and children in crisis. How to Help: The Plymouth Homeless Assistance Team is always in need of volunteers to support their service ministry.
