“Thank you very much for these crucial dollars that have provided fresh fruits and vegetables to 2,550 kids through the Art Van gift. Our kids really enjoy the fresh components of their sack suppers and at the same time we know we are providing them with a healthy meal.  In addition to the valuable produce purchased with this gift, we have also benefited greatly from this wonderful collaboration with Art Van. The publicity that has been created through this generous partnership has truly helped Kids’ Food Basket grow to serve more children.” 

From: Mary K. Hoodhood, Founder and Board member of Kids’ Food Basket. “It’s amazing the awareness and recognition we have received from the commercials. I truly feel that it has resulted in more volunteering and more donations to help feed hungry kids in Grand Rapids.”

–Bridget Clark Whitney, Executive Director of Kids’ Food Basket
