For thousands of West Michigan children, a Sack Supper means that school lunch doesn’t have to be the last meal of the day. With the help of our volunteers, we provide the security and consistency of guaranteeing that meal each and every weekday. Our Sack Supper delivery drivers help to deliver these meals to the dozens of schools that we serve within Kent County, but they also do so much more. They help provide comfort to the children who now know that they have the nourishment they need to learn and live well. Drivers come to Kids’ Food Basket on a scheduled day each week to deliver Sack Suppers to assigned schools, using either one of our Kids' Food Basket delivery vans or your own personal vehicle. Depending on the size of the delivery, a typical driving route will take 1-1.5 hours.

Mission Statement
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.
