Community Choice | 2026 Platinum Sponsor and Photo Backdrop Sponsor
We’re pleased to have Community Choice as a member of our team as a Platinum Sponsor and Photo Backdrop Sponsor.
At Community Choice, we UNbank. What the heck does that mean? Many things! UNbanking is a personality, an energy, a whatever-it-takes mentality to exceed our members’ expectations. We’re a credit union owned by more than 50,000 Iowans just like you. Headquartered in Johnston and supporting Central Iowa for more than 70 years, we live by the motto #UNbankForGood. This includes boots on the ground volunteering, supporting local charities, and partnering with organizations that DO good. Community isn’t just in our name, it’s who we are.
CDM 2026 Nonprofit Tree Silent Auction Application
April 15 marks the opening of our Nonprofit Tree Silent Auction Application. We invite Iowa nonprofits to fill out our application to secure one of twelve trees available to decorate and auction at Christkindlmarket Des Moines 2026. Applications will remain open through May 15.
As part of CDM’s community outreach, we encourage local nonprofits to decorate a tree that will be displayed during the first weekend of Christkindlmarket Des Moines. As patron’s visit the market and marvel over the creativity of each tree, they are able to bid via Silent Auction and take home the tree with all the trimmings on Sunday, December 6th. All proceeds will go directly back to the participating nonprofits.
If you are interested in this opportunity, please follow the link below:
Please send any questions to christkindlmarketdsm.nonprofit@gmail.com.
* Cut trees are not perfect and will have a tendency to lean. We will present the trees in the most positive way given our circumstances. Please manage your expectations accordingly.
