Michigan is one of the hardest-hit states by the COVID-19 pandemic. While the greatest burden of cases remains on the east side of the state all communities are affected. We at Feed the Fight Grand Rapids hope to do just that. Our goal is to connect community members such as yourself to ways to help...

As the pandemic continues its slowing but elongating march in West Michigan, we are committed to supporting our local small businesses while at the same time showing health care workers and their patients’ families that our community cares about them and their mission. Please consider taking part in a “Feed the Fight” branch movement here in Grand Rapids!

Area hospitals have signed up to receive donations of local restaurant gift cards, purchased by us, to distribute to their hardworking health care workers as well as the families of patients that have more to worry about than where their next meal will come from. If you’re interested in sending a meal to a worker or patient family at Mercy Health, Metro Health, or Spectrum Health in Grand Rapids, you can send them to the following locations by either mailing physical cards or buying one online that sends a physical card:
