New to DM & a question about donations
Hi! I am a new mom and recently moved to West Des Moines. In the mail I have been receiving a lot of formula. Breastfeeding is working really well for Baby & me so I was thinking I would donate the formula. Do any of you know of a women's shelter or can recommend another donation place in the area? Thanks!
Re: New to DM & a question about donations
I wonder if House of Mercy would take anything like that:

Hi and Welcome!
I work with pregnant and parenting teens at the Young Women's Resource Center and we always can use formula donations. :-) A lot of our ladies are from the House of Mercy.
PM me and I can give you our address.

Not sure about formula but we donated a bunch of clothes to the Ruth Harbor House.
