Kids' Food Basket

Kids’ Food Basket exists to increase access to healthy food for children and families. Our core belief is that food is a right, not a privilege. Because that is not yet a reality, we mobilize human and financial resources to break down barriers that cause food insecurity. Our services include our flagship Sack Supper program, community-driven farming, family food provision and educational programming. Collectively, we are working toward realizing a hunger-free West Michigan for all.

Through our Sack Supper program, kids get well-balanced, nutritious meals, filling the gap schools and parents often can’t afford. We are currently serving these evening meals to approximately 9,000 children at 52 locations across greater Grand Rapids, Muskegon and Holland, and continue to grow to meet the need in our communities.

A Sack Supper is a free, well-balanced evening meal full of nutritious food delivered to children so that they can perform their best. Sack Suppers are distributed within classrooms at the end of each school day and during summer programs, meaning every child in need can get one easily and safely. Every Sack Supper includes:

• One serving of fruit
• One serving of fresh vegetables
• One serving of protein
• A healthy snack

Our Sack Suppers are made possible by the engine that makes Kids’ Food Basket work- our volunteers. Caring people lend their hearts and hands to make, decorate and deliver Sack Suppers to dozens of schools and summer sites.
