WEST MICHIGAN — Bust out your best orange outfit this morning— it’s time to Go Orange for Kids’ Food Basket.
March is National Nutrition Month—but it’s not just another reminder to eat healthy; not for the organization that’s spent the last 2 decades providing meals for kids in need and laying the infrastructure to break down food barriers!
For this organization, it’s a time to re-affirm that promise.
For us it’s time to give back.
Kids’ Food Basket provides 10,000 healthy meals every day to kids in Kent, Ottawa, Allegan, and Muskegon counties every weekday— a big effort that covers only 12% of those in need.
There’s a lot more to do to help the 38% of Michigan families struggling to keep food on the table.
It’s easier than you think. Here’s how you can help:
- Tic-Tac-Go Orange!
- Participate in activities that break down barriers to food equity and earn points
- Fill a row to win prizes!
- Take the Go Orange Challenge
- Get a group together and join in on breaking down barriers to food equity
- Rack up the points for a chance to win the coveted Kids Food Basket Trophy
- Celebrate at the special Go Orange Happy Hour!
- Join a Dining or Fitness Opportunity
- KFB has teamed up with some great West Michigan businesses— each with opportunities to support their mission through March.
- Get Your Kids in on it!
- Make the Go Orange Recipe
- Explore children’s books like Just Try One Bite that talk about eating healthy, sustainability, and community
- Snag a KFP Go Orange Bookmark so you don’t lose your page or sight of the mission!
- Volunteer year-round!
- Kids’ Food Basket would love for your organization, family, Youth Group, or just you to come out and help pack meals for kids. You’ll love it, too.
Everything you need to know about Kids’ Food Basket and their mission to end childhood hunger can be found on the KFB website.
