We invite you to a one-of-a-kind farm formal evening on September 19, 2025, at the Kids' Food Basket Farm!
Join us for a night of elegance as we recognize more than two decades of increasing access to healthy food for West Michigan’s next generation. Our lush Kent County greenhouse will be aglow as it is transformed into an enchanting dining space where culinary excellence and community impact intertwine. At One Meal, One Mission, our chef will carefully curate each dish using fresh, local ingredients, crafting a meal that is as meaningful as it is delicious. This is not just a dinner—it’s an opportunity to come together and support a singular mission: nourishing children to reach their full potential.
