On Our Way to a New Home
WayPoint Resources is creating a new home designed to serve our neighbors with greater accessibility, privacy, efficiency, and dignity.Follow Our Progress
October 2026 | A New Chapter Begins!
On October 8, we gathered with donors, volunteers, community leaders and supporters to celebrate 21 years of serving our neighbors and officially break ground on WayPoint's future home at 100 Fourth Street in Waukee.
With the building purchased and renovation plans taking shape, we're excited to begin transforming this space into a larger, more accessible home for our services. Our goal is to welcome neighbors into the new facility in spring 2027.
A New Space To Meet Growing Need
For more than two decades, WayPoint Resources has grown responsibly alongside the needs of our community while continuing to serve from the same basement location.
WayPoint’s story began at Westview Church, where the food pantry was established and other area churches were invited to join in serving local families. We are deeply grateful for Westview’s partnership, and for the foundation it helped create.
Building on that strong foundation, WayPoint’s future home will strengthen our proven model of coordinated care by bringing food, clothing, healthcare, personalized support, and the operations behind these services, together in one accessible location. Individuals and families will continue to address multiple needs in a single visit, while the new space significantly improves accessibility, saves valuable time, and makes it easier to receive support before a difficult situation becomes a crisis.
Our future home will provide the space and flexibility to deliver this support more efficiently, serve more people, and respond to our community’s growing needs.
- Easier Access
A street-level entrance will make it easier for clients, volunteers, and community partners to enter, navigate the building, and access services. - Improved Privacy
A more thoughtful layout will create a comfortable, respectful experience for individuals and families seeking support. - Better Service Flow
Additional space will allow food, clothing, healthcare, and support services to work together more efficiently. - Greater Storage and Capacity
The new location will nearly double our current service space, providing more room for food, clothing, supplies, and daily operations. - Room to Grow
As more families turn to WayPoint, our future home will help us meet today’s needs while preparing to serve our growing community well into the future.
