Congratulations to Glenwood Elementary for being selected as one of the Priority Health Be Healthy School Award winners!
Thank You!!
A huge thank you to every individual, family, group and corporation that donated to our Christmas in May campaign. We reached our goal of 25 tons of personal items to donate to food pantries across West Michigan. As I worked at one of the collection points yesterday I was overwhelmed with the generosity and thoughtfulness of our amazing viewers. We are so blessed to live in a caring, giving community like West Michigan. Thank you!!
Christmas in May
May 20 is our big collection day for Christmas in May! I’d love to meet you and your family as you bring out items to support this great effort. I’ll be at the Cutlerville Spartan Store this afternoon but feel free to stop by any of our six participating drop-off locations! Bring out diapers, toothpaste, TP, shampoo, bar soap, dish soap or laundry detergent and help us fill food pantry trucks! This is a great way to make a difference in the lives of people right here in our community! It’s all about Your Money-Your Neighbor! Let’s do what we can to help those in need!
