Kids Food Basket Brown Bag Challenge

 



Kids Food Basket



Add a touch of love to our Sack Suppers this September! Sack Suppers are a nutritious, ready-to-eat meal delivered right to a child’s school or distribution site, ensuring children have access to the healthy food they need to thrive.

What you’ll need:

  • Brown or white 6 or 8 lb. or size extra-large paper sacks work best. 
  • Crayons or markers. 
  • Refrain from using paint, glitter, feathers or stickers, as they can come off in the food. 
  • Please keep in mind that many Sack Suppers will be going to public schools and therefore cannot contain religious messages. 

Brown Bag Decorating Day Pop-Up Event

Join local artists, community leaders, and volunteers as we transform Sack Supper bags into joyous works of art for West Michigan children! Local food vendors will be on-site to fuel your creativity! Light refreshments will also be provided.

When: Thursday, September 28, 2023
