Our friends at Ferris State University Grand Rapids and Priority Health are each giving back to the Grand Rapids community. Here’s a look at how their employees are stepping up to help those in need.
One way you can give back this holiday is by participating in the Angel Tree Toy Drive. There are many West Michigan families who have fallen on hard times and need assistance this season…..it’s not too late to help brighten a child’s day. It’s as easy as purchasing a toy and delivering it to a drop-off location in your area. Click here for more information on the campaign and a drop off location near you.
Take a look at some of the ways that West Michigan kids, families and companies are giving back to the community.
This week our show is focused on Giving Back. Through out the past few weeks, our crew has been out and about in the community capturing ways that kids, families and corporations are generously giving back. We filmed portions of our show at Kids Food Basket, which is a non-profit organization here in Grand Rapids that provides nutritious sack suppers to children at local schools, so they have a meal to eat at home that night.
As a child I remember coming home to a house each night where there was always a hot meal on the table. Looking back, I’m embarrassed to think about the times I grumbled about that gross meatloaf or those yucky vegetables. If I only realized then how lucky I was to actually have a meal. Right here in Kent County there are thousands of kids who would go to bed hungry each night if they didn’t have a sack supper from Kids Food Basket.
