Stronger together starts with connection.
Helping each other navigate barriers, access resources, and find the support we need to thrive.
Stronger Together Community Collective is a Des Moines-based nonprofit helping individuals and families navigate barriers, access resources, and feel supported along the way.
We believe stronger communities are built when people have the information, connections, and support they need to thrive.

What We Do
We connect people with practical support, resources, advocacy, and community-based programs that help individuals and families navigate barriers and thrive.
RESOURCE NAVIGATION
Connecting individuals and families with resources for food, housing, transportation, family needs, and other everyday needs.
HEALTHCARE ADVOCACY & NAVIGATION
Helping individuals and families understand healthcare options, navigate Medicare, Medicaid and other complicated healthcare systems, and connect with appropriate services and support.
COMMUNITY SUPPORT & CONNECTION
Connecting people with local organizations, programs, events, and sometimes lesser-known community resources that may be able to help.
HEALTH & PREVENTION PROGRAMS
Connecting people with community-based education and programs that support healthier lives, including our upcoming National Diabetes Prevention Program.
Sometimes you need more than a phone number.
Finding help shouldn't feel like another hurdle. Whether you're trying to understand your healthcare options, locate community resources, or simply figure out where to start, we're here to help you figure out what comes next.
Healthier people. Stronger communities.
We bring prevention, education, and support into the community—helping people build healthier lives and reduce their risk for chronic disease.
National Diabetes Prevention Program
Coming soon to the Des Moines community.
Stronger Together Community Collective is preparing to offer the National Diabetes Prevention Program, a year-long lifestyle change program for adults at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
Participants will receive support with healthy eating, physical activity, managing stress, overcoming challenges, and making realistic changes that can last.
