Fort Dodge of Upper Des Moines Opportunity Inc. has a new home in a new centralized location in downtown Fort Dodge.
The UDMO office moved from its former location on First Avenue South to its new site at 704 Central Ave., Suite 200, in early December.
“Moving in the middle of winter is never fun,” said Alisa Schliens, director of Family and Community Services. “And then, in the middle of peak season, it made it a little harder. “
UDMO offers a diversity of others to local families. From Oct. 1 to April 30 each year, UDMO works with local low-income families with its electrical assistance program, Schliens said.
The firm also has a pantry available by appointment and self-service on the third Thursday of the month.
Schliens also highlighted the nursery, where parents of children from birth to age 2 can purchase the pieces they need, as well as the birthday room, where parents of children under the age of 8 can purchase gifts and birthday party supplies for their child.
The UDMO is open from 8 a. m. to 2 p. m. Monday through Friday.
“We’re very excited about our new area and the fact that it’s more centrally located and centrally located for families,” Schliens said.
The UDMO will be open on Friday from 2:30 p. m. to 8:30 p. m. at four p. m. to welcome visitors to their new space.
