Community Food Network
Helping to Feed Local Families in Need
Fresh fruits and vegetables grown in local community gardens are distributed to families in need through local food pantries, soup kitchens, and other distribution resources. Volunteers pick up produce from the gardens, sort and package the produce into family size portions and deliver it to food pantries. Food pantries then distribute the available produce to clients who need help. Other distribution resources include the Food Truck run by Feeding America and local Soup Kitchens.
The Community Food Network Planning Committee meets on the last Tuesday of the month at 3:30PM at the H.O. Steele Education Center!
Thank You GillRoy Hardware - The DO-IT Center for donating over $400 worth of seeds to Community Gardens!

Grand River Rover Rescue
People can see the dogs we have available at www.grrr4dogs.petfinder.com
Charlie is about as perfect as a dog can be. He has very good house manners, gets along with just about any dog, and is great with kids. He is housebroken, loves to cuddle, gentle, and even drops the ball for you when playing fetch.
He is quite the hunter, however, so he needs a home without cats, birds, or small furry animals. If you are interested, Please submit an adoption application ASAP!
Visit Grand River Rover Rescue for more information. If you are interested in this pet please fill out an application today.

I'M Kid's Food Program Receives a $25,000 Grant
I'M Kids Food: Volunteers Needed
- I'M Kids Food feeding program for kids needs volunteers to assemble dinners.
We are I’M Kids Food, a brand new feeding program serving food insecure children in Ionia and Montcalm counties. We formed in 2012 with the mission to end childhood hunger in our communities. With Ionia County and Montcalm counties having 3,530 and 4,090 food insecure children, respectively, we know we have a lot of work to do.
We are reaching out to our community to see if groups and organizations are interested in forming volunteers groups to help assemble sack dinners at the H.O. Steel Education Center in Fenwick, Michigan. (10260 South Sheridan Rd., Fenwick, MI 48834)
Ideally, I’M Kids Food is seeking groups of 5-10 people who would commit to volunteering one day a month. Volunteer groups could sign up for one or more of the following shifts:
- Morning Prep from 9:00am-11:00am
- Lunch Prep from 11:00am-3:00pm
- Afternoon Clean Up from 3:00-5:00pm
- Evening Prep from 5:00pm-7:00pm
If you are interested please fill out the volunteer survey at this link: http://goo.gl/Kb6dt1
We are confident that with a strong volunteer base we can grow from 500 sack dinners to eventually provide meals for all food insecure children in Ionia and Montcalm counties. Please feel free to share this email or the attached PDF with members of your group to generate interest in this new program! We appreciate your support as we work to end childhood hunger in Ionia and Montcalm counties.
