Community Hand Up | #CDM2024 Nonprofit Partner

Christkindlmarket Des Moines is pleased to partner with Community Hand Up as a Nonprofit Partner this year.

Community Hand Up and their team of volunteers will be managing a point of sale at the Glühwein Tent on Thursday and Friday and at An der Weihnachtsecke (the CDM Store) on Saturday and Sunday. All cash tips placed in their tip jar at their point of sale will go directly to their organization. The Iowa European Cultural Connection, the nonprofit that produces Christkindlmarket Des Moines, will also make a $1000 donation as part of our partnership.
