Orange is the color that represents childhood hunger awareness, and March is national nutrition month.
41,000 children right in our community are experiencing food insecurity. We Go Orange to raise funds and awareness about childhood hunger and provide healthy, nourishing meals to our community, moving the needle toward a more equitable West Michigan.
Go Orange with a Donation
Go Orange by Donating Wish List items
Help us collect non-perishable items that we use and kids love! Each Sack Supper includes fruits, vegetables, proteins and a variety of healthy snacks. Providing high quality nutrition to thousands of children each weekday takes a lot of support! Off-brands are more than welcome. Drop off your donation at any KFB location during hours of operation.
