Join adult volunteers in the kitchen to help wash, prepare whole foods for cooking and make broths so the teens can start cooking meals when they arrive. We have Tuesday and Wednesday shifts: 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Revive & Thrive Project provides nourishing meals to those facing a health crisis in greater Grand Rapids, while empowering youth. We seek to nourish, educate, empower and connect our community through nutritious food to support health outcomes, build life skills, encourage healthy eating behaviors and support the local economy.
