Stock shelves for a good cause! The Cultivate Hope Corner Store is a small, nonprofit grocery store owned and operated by Matthew 25. Our vision is to make this community grocery store a vibrant space that brings neighbors together and provides a convenient location for healthy food in a food desert neighborhood. This beautifully remodeled space provides reduced-cost produce that is fresh and local, as well as other dry goods and food staples. Groundswell Cafe supplies fresh, ready-to-eat meals at the store. There is also a small seating area where we host food workshops and other community-building events.
We rely on volunteers for support with various projects and tasks, including stocking shelves, unloading produce trucks, preparing and serving lunch, and helping customers. This is a great way to share your skills and passion for healthy food, while getting to know community members and helping to expand access to healthy, affordable foods in our community.
Volunteer shifts are available Monday - Saturday. To learn more or sign up to volunteer, please visit our website or reach out to jessica@hub25.org.

Description
Matthew 25 improves the health of people and neighborhoods by investing in four main pillars: quality affordable housing, healthy food, educational opportunities, and community building. This is done through a range of programs including:
- Groundswell Cafe: A pay-it-forward eatery where everyone has access to fresh, healthy food, regardless of their ability to pay.
- Cultivate Hope Urban Farm: The first urban farm in Iowa, where we grow fresh fruits and vegetables without pesticides or herbicides, using sustainable practices. We also offer community garden plots where individuals can grow their own food.
- Cultivate Hope Corner Store: A small, nonprofit grocery store owned and operated by Matthew 25. Our vision is to make this community grocery store a vibrant space that brings neighbors together and provides a convenient location for healthy food in a food desert neighborhood.
- Tool Library: A collection of tools and supplies made available to community members and organizations to maintain and improve their homes, gardens and communities.
- Transform Week: An annual event during which we connect volunteers with homeowners to take on maintenance and repair projects that the homeowners aren't able to do on their own.
