Kids Food Basket Week Is Coming
Are you willing to help fire up your kids to make a difference in the lives of children who struggle with food insecurities?
50 schools from throughout West Michigan will be jumping in to work together to help bring food to “nourish kids to be their best” thanks to the leadership of Kids Food Basket.
Guess what! Rose Park is invited to join in with this important effort. Every child knows the discomfort of hunger. Many of our children don’t understand the depth of struggle with food insecurities but we certainly can work together to help ease the pain children who are our neighbors are feeling. March 20-March 24 we will live into Kids Food Basket Week! Take a peek at this flyer to learn about some of the ways your family can also get involved if you choose: KFB Week 2023-School Flyer. You’ll find a wish list of food items children in our area have shared that they enjoy eating the most. There is a QR code your family can contribute to this dear organization if you’d like. And, finally, you can wear orange on Go Orange Day, March 24. Orange is the color of Childhood Hunger Awareness and we want to help make a difference. As we grow in our gardening skills, our dream is to one day raise fresh, organic treats for these yummy sack suppers.
We'll be collecting food from the wish list gathered from children close by right in our neighborhood! Here are some of their favorite foods for the sack suppers we'd like to collect:
• Nutri-Grain bars
• Fruit cups
• Cheerios
• Raisin boxes
• Cheez-It crackers
• Goldfish crackers
Additionally, if you'd like to contribute to the mission good work Kids Food Basket provides in our community, please feel free to use this QR code for a direct link
Night Hike
Oh boy....our calendars, the ODC calendar, a power outage and several snow days tried putting the kabosh on our Forest Family night hike. Then along came our friends at the Saugatuck Center for the Arts! They are hosting a Lantern Lit Night Hike to the Beach! ....with hot chocolate, coffee, hand projects and give aways! Guess what! We're invited! So we'll enjoy a night hike together after all! March 24 from 6:00-8:00 join us at the Saugatuck State Park for an evening in the fun-filled evening hiking in the Forest together!

Kids Food Basket Week Is Coming
Our prayer, as your partners, is that the words we say, the behaviors we model and the experiences we plan would shape your children’s heart to look just a little more like Jesus’ heart every day. By embedding our Holland Christian Discipleship Practices in the learning activities and daily life of our community, we believe we help to prepare our children for a life lived closer to God’s call as Kingdom Bringers.
