Event Description

Children across Western Michigan go to bed hungry every night through no fault of their own. Food insecurity affects one in eight people in Western Michigan and for children the need is even greater as one in seven of them do not know where their next meal is coming from. Lack of proper nutrition affects school readiness, brain development and mental health. Every year the club organizes a 5k run/walk race, called the Turkey Trot, to benefit the Kids’ Food Basket of Grand Rapids.
