Kids’ Food Basket exists to increase access to healthy food for children and families. Our core belief is that food is a right, not a privilege. Because that is not yet a reality, we mobilize human and financial resources to break down barriers that cause food insecurity. Our services include our flagship Sack Supper program, community-driven farming, family food provision and educational programming. Collectively, we are working toward realizing a hunger-free West Michigan for all.
Packet Pickup: Wednesday, November 22, 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., East Grand Rapids Middle School at 2425 Lake Dr. SE, East Grand Rapids.
We look forward to running with you on Thanksgiving morning!
