Access of West Michigan has been granted $30,000 from the Walmart Foundation, which will be applied to the Hunger Response Program.
“This check couldn’t have come at a better time,” says Shelly Smit, Development & Communications Coordinator for Access. “What a true blessing for our organization and our Hunger Response Program as we gear up for the holidays and plan for next year.”
The Access Hunger Response Program provides working solutions to hunger and poverty by coordinating a yearly Hunger Walk, multiple food drives, the Holiday Giving Network, the Access Pantry Network of Kent County (over 75 participating pantries and 12 Pantry Resource Centers provide an average of 20,000 food services to individuals each month), SNAP Outreach and more.
Access of West Michigan would like to say a huge THANK YOU to the Walmart Foundation’s State Giving Program for the opportunity to partner together.
