The Problem
This summer we were able to help plant a Community Garden where the produce was donated to local food pantries. This taught us how much our local food pantries do to help the community. Some food pantries serve 15 families each week while others serve 80! They all need our help!
Why It's Important
Michigan is struggling with many people without jobs. Ionia has a lot of families who need help. I do not want my friends and family members to go hungry!
The Plan Of Action
Our local AM Radio Station (WION) and the United Way & Volunteer Connections is partnering to hold a food drive over Thanksgiving Weekend. They will be driving an RV around the county collecting food. The Ionia Kids Club members will collect food from friends, family and our neighbors and deliver it the WION RV when it is in Ionia. From there WION & the United Way will give food to 10 local food pantries throughout the county.
How Can Others Get Involved?
Anyone can drop off non-perishable food at ENRICH of Ionia County at 343 W Main St. in Ionia throughout November.
Project Updates
