Kathy Coady from Hope Ministries joined us in the studio this morning just after the 8:30 news. Hope Ministries provides a free Easter meal to the needy that come into the Hope Cafe in the Bethel Mission as well as deliver Easter meals to the surrounding community. They are in need of donations of ready-to-serve rolls and cookies for the meals. If you can, please put two cookies in each bag so they are ready to pack with the meals. This Saturday from 9AM-1PM is food donation day. Simply bring your donations to Bethel Mission at 1310 6th Avenue in Des Moines. There will be activities for kids and you can take a tour of the facility. Get more information at www.HopeIowa.org. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
