Community Action House

We love partnering with our friends at @kidsfoodbasket to get extra produce into the hands of our Food Pantry guests. We are so grateful to have such generous and thoughtful partners who are committed to helping our West Michigan community!

The August Mobile Food Pantry is now available. Share to get the word out for folks looking for food support!

Our offices will be closed starting at 12pm today. The Food Pantry will be open for appointments from 9-12 and the Community Kitchen will serve lunch. We look forward to seeing you this morning!

We want to share a HUGE thank you to Fellowship Reformed Church! For the past 7 months, they have shared their space with us, allowing us to take over the gym with food storage, sorting, and packing. Thanks to all the volunteers who joined us during this season of service!

The Community Kitchen is open every day and we are excited to again offer our guests the option to enjoy their meal indoors! Seating is limited in order to maintain safety and take-out meals are still available. Thanks to our volunteers for making this possible!

We loved connecting with friends + neighbors at National Night Out last night! If you didn't get a chance to connect with us, we'd love to meet you and get you connected with food support and resources. Give us a call at 616-392-2368. @CityofHolland #foodrescue #community

Construction is moving along at the new Food Club! Making this space beautiful + inviting helps us tell the story that we are committed to above all else: All are welcome. Struggle should never be met with stigma, but with compassion, warmth, service, and partnership.

The most sturdy way to pack + transport food for home deliveries, and for guests to carry food, is in reusable shopping bags. We are always looking for more! You can make your donation of reusable shopping bags to our Pantry at 345 W 14th St from 8:30-5, M-F. Thank you!

Packing Family Food Boxes can be a fun way to gather with friends, connecting over a shared goal of helping neighbors. Interested in packing some boxes with your own group? Head over to loom.ly/sH7L_o0 to get started! #foodpantry #foodislove #hungerfreeholland

Our Outreach Team loves meeting folks at the Herrick District Library. The team can make referrals and provide assistance for food support, health care resources, housing help, MI Bridges, tax prep + more! Stop by to get connected! Dan, Taylor + Torry are excited to meet you!

Since February, we've added three new retail grocery stores to our Food Rescue pickups. This has meant over 1,000 extra pounds of fruits and veggies a week! Looking to get involved in Food Rescue? Head over to loom.ly/eFg0Ew4 for more information!

¿Necesitas más comida este verano? Llamé al 616-392-2368 para hacer una cita! Tenemos frutas y verduras frescas, productos lácteos, carnes y productos enlatados y mercancías secas. Todos son bienvenidos a venir, sin preguntas.

Healthy Eating Bingo is a great way to make healthy food choices! When you get two bingos, you can win a gift card to the farmers market! Visit ottawafood.org/healthy-eating… for more details. If you need more fruits + veggies as you play, call our Pantry at 616-392-2368. 💚

The owners/coaches of the @wsrattlers and Lakeshore Warriors stopped by to drop off a BIG donation. The first ever Lakeshore Charity Invitational raised $2500 + over 500 pounds of food! Thanks to all who partnered to make this tournament successful + inspiring! 💚

Thanks to our friends at @firstpickfarms, we had a pallet of blueberries to re-pack! There are many ways to volunteer at CAH. Visit loom.ly/l_4mVpk to check them out! Or let us know your interests by emailing Allison at allison@communityactionhouse.org.

We're at the Holland Farmer's Market today, ready to help you Grab a Bag and Donate! Come see Rachel and help local families get connected with the gift of market fresh produce. Thanks for being part of a community that shows love through the gift of food. @DowntownHolland

Last call for pack-a-thon volunteer groups! Our goal is to pack 750 boxes this week! Get a group + pick a date & time between now and July 24th. Visit loom.ly/I6CwJ4Q to get signed up or reach out to Allison, at 616-392-2368 Ext 117! Happy packing! #volunteer

We're excited to earn support from the @mihealthfund to deepen our Food Rescue collaboration with Harvest Stand Ministries. Together, we can rescue more healthy food, more efficiently. Local #foodrescue turns food excess into healthy food access. loom.ly/MDsICwk

The beginning of a new week holds a lot of unknowns. If food for your family is one of them, we're here to help. Call our Pantry at 616-392-2368 to schedule a food appointment. Or stop by the Community Kitchen for a no-cost lunch from 11-12:30. All are welcome, all the time.
