Creative Visions 1343 13th Street, Des Moines, IA 50314

"We appreciate all the services Creative Visions offers from a food pantry, clothing closet, community garden and so much more."

"Very disrespectful to the community to park sports cars & trucks and block the public sidewalk in front of the main doors, especially when you have a large parking lot you should be parking in. Many people with child, walkers and wheelchairs live around here which I shouldn't have to say."

"Creative Vision is an organization that should be dismantled. Resources and programs are not available as advertised, and the lack of community trust for the Director, Ako Abdul Samad is concerning. I speak from personal and professional interactions with Creative Vision. Creative Vision must do better!"

"Creative Visions does so many great things for the community. Some people would go hungry without Creative Visions. They offer monthly food boxes, daily meals, and warm Sunday meals. They also have a Crime Victim program to help those who have been victimized. If you need something, honestly anything come to Creative Visions and if they can't help you then they will direct you to who can. They have dance classes, chess club, music lessons, a quilting group, the list goes on and on and on. I cannot speak enough about how much good this organization truly does for our community."

"The people at Creative Visions are always very kind and non judgmental. It is obvious they are there to help people. There was a girl named Laura there and she told me information about where else I can get food and took extra time to give me a copy of the list of pantries even though she was clearly working on something else when I came."
