Kids’ Food Basket is a nonprofit organization fighting childhood hunger to help young people learn and live well. They began over ten years ago by serving 125 kids each school day through their Sack Supper program and now serve over 6,000 kids each weekday in West Michigan. We serve by preparing and packing meals every six weeks.

Kids Hope USA is a mentoring program that partners churches and schools. Bostwick Lake is excited to partner with Lakes Elementary. Mentors are trained adults who assist students with academic learning through positive interactions. Adults serve one hour per week for the entire school year.

North Kent Connect is a Christian organization committed to improving the lives of all people in northern Kent County by providing access to basic needs and promoting economic independence. Our members donate and volunteer at the food pantry regularly.

IHN provides shelter for homeless families by partnering with 25 congregations throughout Northern Kent County to provide overnight rooms, hospitality, and basic needs.
