Organizations Fighting Hunger

Description:

The Creative Visions Human Development Institute works to develop economically vulnerable individuals, families, and communities into becoming self-empowered, self-responsible, and self-sufficient through education and economic empowerment.

Their programs include:

The Sunday Feed Program is a community meal to primarily serve the homeless, elderly and sick and shut-ins. They serve an average of 200 meals per Sunday, approximately 15,600 meals during the year.

Community Development Programs include advocacy work, mediation, and community forums designed to provide educational and economic empowerment information.

Family Development Programs include a food pantry, food hotline referral service, and support for families and offenders to preserve the family unit while a member is in prison.

Self Development Programs include GED Tutorials, support for high school students, and the Creative Visions Job Readiness program that provides one-stop access to community members seeking help with employment who may not feel comfortable or have access to government agencies. 

How to Help:

Individuals and organizations can support the work of Creative Visions through donations or by volunteering to help manage their food pantry and educational programs. Volunteer and Community Service hours may be scheduled by calling 515-244-4003. Volunteers and Community Service workers will receive paper work as proof of hours served.
