🎄 SAVE THE DATE! GIVE BACK WHILE YOU DINE! ❤️

Mark your calendars for November 16–21, 2026!

When you dine at Russ’ Restaurant in North Muskegon, 20% of your total bill will be donated to Mission for Area People to support our Teen Town Christmas Program! 🎁

This program helps provide Christmas gifts to teens who might otherwise go without this holiday season.

With rising housing costs and everyday living expenses, more families in our community are struggling this year. The holidays can be especially difficult for those trying to make ends meet. That's why community support matters now more than ever. Together, we can help make Christmas a little brighter for local teens who deserve to experience the joy of the season. ❤️

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

Print the coupon shown in the image below.
Bring it with you when dining.
Present the coupon with your bill between November 16 and November 21, 2026.
📍 IMPORTANT: This fundraiser is ONLY valid at the North Muskegon Russ’ location.

Every meal makes a difference, and every bit of support helps bring a smile to a teen this Christmas!

Thank you for supporting Mission for Area People, our local teens, and families in our community. We appreciate you! ❤️🎄

💙A BIG THANK YOU TO FRUITPORT COSTCO!

We are so grateful to our local Fruitport Costco for their generous donation to support our Healthy Choice Food Pantry! 🛒

Many people may not realize that when a family receives their weekly groceries at their pantry appointment, they also receive essential personal care items such as toilet paper, deodorant, body wash, hand soap, toothpaste, and more!

While we are blessed to receive an abundance of food donations (thank you to everyone who helps keep our shelves stocked! 🥫🍎), personal care items are often in shorter supply. Costco’s generous donation will help us fill our personal care shelves and ensure the families we serve have access to these everyday essentials.

Thank you, Fruitport Costco, for helping us care for our community in such a meaningful way! Your support makes a difference! 🥰

🥫 Interested in signing up for our Healthy Choice Food Pantry?

You can apply online at www.missionforareapeople.org or apply in person on Mondays and Wednesdays.
