WAYS TO DONATE
VOLUNTEER
Our vision for addressing hunger and homelessness in our community includes YOU! While we advocate and provide care for our neighbors every day, we cannot accomplish this work alone. It takes the entire community to help individuals rise from their current situation and move into a place where they can receive help, feel a sense of hope, and move forward in opportunity.
​
We rely on hundreds of volunteers to keep things running smoothly at New Visions. From helping in our kitchen to sorting donations to working in our garden, we’d love to have you serve with us!
​
Our Council Bluffs meal-site relies on daily volunteers to serve meals to hundreds of individuals. Volunteers can serve lunch with us Monday-Friday from 11:30AM-1PM, or serve dinner with us every day of the week from 4:45PM-6:15PM.

We also operate an annual Holiday Event and Giveaway in Council Bluffs that requires hundreds of volunteers to help us during the holiday season. We begin scheduling groups and individuals for this event in September/October of each year. Please email us for more information about volunteering for our Holiday Event!

IN-KIND DONATIONS
Many of our supporters enjoy donating supplies that will help with our mission. This is called in-kind giving. We are so grateful to our generous community for thinking of us with their donations, and these practical gifts support our mission in very impactful ways!
​
From sweet corn to dog kennels, we can accept many new and used items. While we cannot accept every item due to storage limitations, there are many supplies and items that we can accept and that will be tremendously helpful to us in our work.
