Kids Food Basket

Angel Mendiola is the Regional Development Specialist for Kids’ Food Basket, whose mission is disrupting the social determinants of health for children by addressing immediate hunger needs and ensuring long term impact through, life affirming, daily nourishment and education.   Kids’ Food Basket was founded eighteen years ago, and since 2002, they have grown from serving 125 children at two schools in Kent County to now serving approximately 8,800 children at 52 schools in Kent, Muskegon, Ottawa, and Allegan counties!  Unfortunately, the need contiues to grow, and Angel will be with us to give us an update on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the organization and the children they serve.  For more information on Kids' Food Basket, visit:  https://www.kidsfoodbasket.org/
