Provide radical hospitality one burrito at a time

The Urban Bicycle Food Ministry - Des Moines is a community-based and non-denominational organization. Anyone and everyone is welcome to be a part of this ministry. We do not preach, proselytize or try to convert.

Since 2015 we have been serving radical hospitality — one burrito at a time. What is “radical hospitality”? Every Thursday, all year long, we prepare and deliver hundreds of food and personal items by bike and car to people on the streets, they might be living under a bridge, in a tent next to the river or railroad tracks or in a hole dug in the side of a hill or in subsidized housing. Think “Uber Eats” for people without addresses or the ability to pay.
