The Longer Table Fundraiser
Join the Silent Auction — No Gala Ticket Needed
You can support Des Moines Refugee Support from anywhere by participating in the silent auction for The Longer Table, DMRS’s Third Annual Fundraising Dinner.
You do not need to attend the gala to bid. The auction is open virtually, so anyone can browse items, place bids, and help support refugee children and families in our community.
Funds raised through The Longer Table help make DMRS programs possible — including school enrollment support, transportation, youth soccer, summer camps, women’s income-building opportunities, free stores, and community
events.
