How We Partner with Older Adults
We offer programs specifically designed to meet the social needs of older adults in Des Moines including:
JOY (Just Older Youth) Fellowship Group
- JOY (Just Older Youth) Fellowship Group schedule: JOY meets the first and fourth Tuesdays of each month at 10 a.m. for games, crafts, outings, snacks and fellowship.
Community Care Ministry
- Community Care Ministry program strengths: Many older adults who are homebound, hospitalized or in a nursing care facility feel particularly isolated, lonely or neglected. That's why we make personal visits through our community care ministry to offer encouragement and friendship to those in need as well as special visits during the Easter and Christmas seasons.

Partner With Adults
Humans thrive in environments in which we are valued, appreciated and respected, yet sadly, many older adults do not have a place or a community where they feel they belong.
That's why we offer programs specifically designed to meet the needs of older adults in our city. From gathering around the table to enjoy a meal together to participating in a mind-sharpening activity or a fun outing, older adults in our community connect, socialize and engage with one another in enriching, meaningful ways.
You can provide help and hope for these valuable members of our community.
Studies indicate that loneliness has a negative impact on the health of older adults.
At the same time, seniors who have support and opportunities to connect with others report fewer incidences of illness and depression.
