April Showers brings...the April 2, 2025, Feeding America West Michigan Mobile Food Pantry sponsored by St. John's UCC in partnership with Sudanese Grace Episcopal Church at 1500 Oswego NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49504. Volunteers will gather at 5:00pm. distribution begins at 6:00 pm. Last month, we distributed food to 120 families, 397 individuals, 138 children, 75 seniors, and 8 veterans. A total of 29 volunteers lifted 4 pallets of watermelon into trunks of cars and divided up carrots and apples that arrived onsite in bulk. The menu included macaroni, yogurt, potatoes, milk and Pop Tarts. The total weight of food delivered was 9,902 pounds. Many hands make light work. Volunteers play a crucial role in the work to increase food access to our neighbors, we couldn't do this without you. Students Joey Little and Faith Thompson were new to our volunteer crew. Thank you all so much! Richard Johnston delivered a carful of surplus food to UCOM. Surplus Pop Tarts were delivered to the residents at Grandview Apartments and were much appreciated.
