Interfaith Engagement
DMARC could never do the work of feeding
so many people without the partnership of
many diverse faith communities. Nearly
200 faith communities from across the
religious spectrum support DMARC with
cash, food, and service.
Because we can do so much more together
than we can on our own, DMARC has a
commitment to helping our faith
communities learn about one another and
build relationships.

Healthy Food Guidelines
• In 2007, ISU study found that our food pantry
users had 3x the incidence of diabetes than the
general population of Polk County.
• Shortly thereafter, we established healthy food
guidelines (low sugar, fat, and salt) and
increased the amount of fresh produce provided
by our food pantries.
• Visitors to the food pantry may receive a three-
day supply of healthy food once per calendar
month, with additional AnyTime Items available
(which do not follow our health guidelines).
