Baskets of Love is an opportunity to bring smiles to the children in our community during the Easter season. Each basket contains Easter goodies along with new socks and underwear!

Waukee Area Christian Services has provided over 1,100 “Baskets of Love” since 2008. Please consider helping us continue to reach out to children in need by donating items to help fill the baskets. Donations can be dropped off at WACS or any satellite drop-off site.

When school cafeterias close for the summer, kids lose a regular source of meals. Families who rely on free and reduced-priced lunches suddenly have much higher grocery bills.

During these summer months, we also face a decline in food donations and an increase in families coming in for food assistance. Our Summer Food Drive looks to replenish our shelves to meet this higher demand.

The mission of the School Snack Pack program is to provide children with food to take home over the weekend. The snack packs are filled with child-friendly, easy-to-prepare food and discreetly distributed to students in Dallas County. 

Please consider donating snacks or assembling snack packs with a group of friends or co-workers.

Many of us get excited planning for the Thanksgiving holiday and family gathering together.  Unfortunately, not everyone is so lucky. Some families can not afford a Thanksgiving dinner.
