Today on , we sow seeds into the next generation!

At Forest Avenue Outreach, young people aren’t just students. They’re Future Builders.�

Every welding spark, every carpentry lesson, every leadership moment is shaping the next workforce, the next entrepreneurs, and strong future families in our community.

When you invest, you help us:�
✅ Train youth through MC3 union curriculum�
✅ Build pathways to living-wage careers�
✅ Equip teens with real skills, real character, and real hope

If you believe that every young person deserves opportunity, access, and someone cheering them on…we invite you to partner with us today. 💚

👉 Give. Share. Pray. Spread the word.
Together, we’re building something extraordinary.

Thank you State Farm and Greater Des Moines Habitat for Humanity!

Thank you State Farm for supporting Habitat’s youth initiatives since 2007. This year, State Farm’s Youth Action Grant helped fund our partnership with Forest Ave Outreach, providing students from Des Moines’ King Irving and River Bend neighborhoods with hands on training in the building trades and construction industry.

Tomorrow night, we’re gathering to celebrate something bigger than a program, a fundraiser, or a moment on the calendar. We’re celebrating the students who are building futures with their own hands. Students who show up, put in the work, and prove every day that opportunity can change everything.

If that kind of story matters to you, we’d love to have you in the room.

📅 TOMORROW, Thursday, November 6
🕕 6:00 to 8:00 PM
📍 West End Architectural Salvage
🎟 Free to attend
RSVP: https://luma.com/fv17zrp9

Come see what it looks like when a community shows up, believes in young people, and raises the bar together!
