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.
Description
Who We Are
Kids’ Food Basket is a grassroots, community solution to childhood hunger. We engage all who care about children reaching their full potential - in school and in life. We began 20 years ago by serving 125 kids through our Sack Supper program and now serve approximately 9,300 kids each weekday in West Michigan.
