Kids' Food Basket
For one in four Michigan kids, lunch is the last
meal of the day.
There are 30,000 kids in Kent County living
in poverty.
Kids' Food Basket currently works with 27
schools in the area. Eighty percent of the kids in
these schools are sent home each night with a
sack supper.
A sack supper is a 1,000 calorie meal that covers
the five main food groups, they often include
items such as apples and bananas, carrots, peas,
a fresh sandwich and a juice box.
There are many reasons to be involved
with Kids' Food Basket, in fact this year alone
there are 3,700 reasons to get involved.
Kids' Food Basket works with a small staff and
over 100 volunteers each day to ensure that
the 3,700 kids are sent home with a nutricious
sack supper.

children in our community
