The West Des Moines Leadership Academy (WDMLA) is proud to support the mission of West Des Moines Human Services through our involvement in the Community of Care initiative leveraging the three pillars of the WDM Leadership Academy: Leading Self, Leading Team, and Leading Community.

West Des Moines Human Services has been assisting low-income, older seniors and disabled residents since 1979, aiding more than 2,000 households in West Des Moines, and surrounding western suburbs. Programs include emergency assistance for rent and utilities, youth recreational assistance, clothing, and food assistance in addition to many other programs for those struggling with poverty. West Des Moines Human Services strives to create an environment where those seeking help experience compassion, acceptance, and commitment.

“At West Des Moines, we believe in building a community that cares. The Community of Care Campaign is designed to encourage and support the residents and businesses of WDM in advocating for, volunteering, and donating to causes that make our city a better place to live. By coming together, we can support those in need, strengthen our sense of community, and create a lasting impact.”

This year, the 2024-2025 West Des Moines Leadership Academy, a local program comprised of 35-40 community leaders, has chosen to bring awareness to the benefits of WDM Human Services through 4 distinct avenues:

1. Monetary Donations

2. Donating Goods

3. Volunteering

4. Organization Exposure

Funds raised for West Des Moines Human Services will flow through the West Des Moines Chamber Foundation and is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization, which means your donations are tax deductible per the IRS guidelines. Thank you in advance for your support! #WDMCARES
