Donate to Kids Food Basket

On Tuesday Women in Business (WIB) is hosting a service event to help donate to Kids Food Basket.

The group will be decorating bags and taking food donations as well as making holiday cards.

One of the main activities at the event will be putting together “sack suppers” which are well-rounded evening meals. The meals include fruit, vegetables, protein and a variety of healthy snacks. WIB is looking to collect non-perishables to put in the meals. This could be fruit cups or pouches,  pudding cups, meat sticks like Slim Jims and 8LB or XL brown paper bags. Any brand of food is accepted, but the group does ask for items without peanuts or tree nuts on the ingredients list so they don’t serve something children could be allergic to.

The drive will take place in the Seidman Forum on Grand Valley’s Pew Campus from 5 to 6 p.m.
