The Fresh Market at UMCH: Donate

Loading....

The Fresh Market at UMCH supports local farmers and local families...and so can you!

Later this spring, we will open the doors of the brand new Fresh Market at UMCH…and we want you to be part of it!

Here’s the problem: 1 in every 4 families with children in Kent County struggles with food insecurity. And even if they have enough to eat, it can be difficult or impossible for lower-income families in the core neighborhoods of Grand Rapids to find fresh, healthy food they can afford.

This means that families don’t have access to the food that can help keep them healthy. Because our mission is all about helping children, youth, adults, and families to succeed in a diverse community, we knew we needed to find a solution.

Here’s the solution: Beginning in Spring 2021, the Fresh Market at UMCH will support local farmers and local families by selling fresh, locally grown produce and other healthy foods at our new market storefront at 900 Division Avenue. Market prices will follow a sliding scale, so it will always be affordable for everyone.

The best part is that the Fresh Market at UMCH will be open to all members of the public. Shopping at the Fresh Market will be just like shopping at your favorite grocery store, with one important difference: every time you shop at the Fresh Market, your purchase will help make healthy food affordable for more families in Grand Rapids!

Here’s how you can help: Every purchase at the Fresh Market helps make healthy food affordable for local families. But if you're not close by or want to buy food elsewhere, you can still support the Fresh Market! Just use this form to make a donation that will make local families healthier for years to come.

Thank you for being a part of the solution!

Your generous support will help everyone have access to healthy food they can afford—and that's just the beginning of a ripple effect that will build a healthier, stronger, more resilient community for everyone. Thank you for showing up and showing love in action. We are so grateful for you!

Wondering about other ways you can help?
Before our store front opens, we’re asking UMCH supporters to help us get our system just right. For a limited time, UMCH insiders can purchase a special immune-boosting produce box for $25, packed with local, sustainably grown produce that helps support a healthy immune system.

Visit thefreshmarketatumch.com to learn more and reserve your box! (Plus, learn about pre-ordering boxes and sign up for market updates!)

P.S. If you have questions about your gift, we're here for you. Contact Kristin Rahn-Tiemeyer, Development Director, at ktiemeyer@umchousegr.org or 616-241-3077.
