Face it. You need to get out of the house. This winter has been a kick in the pants to even the most avid outdoorsmen. Between the snow, and the cold and the unrelenting of both….a little cabin fever reliever is long over due and in Muskegon, turning that into some kind of fundraiser is what we do best! Northway Lanes is welcoming one and all on February 28th to be a part of Strike Out Hunger to benefit Kids Food Basket. Jillian Meloche from Nowak Machined Products joins to talk about the event.
Kids Food Basket is currently serving 68 schools across West Michigan who’s children would be going home to food insecure households. Since July 1st of 2025….that’s 971,033 sack suppers. Stop. NINE HUNDRED SEVENTY ONE THOUSAND. That’s almost a million kids in our corner of the world who’ve gone home to no food in less than a year. How that number is tolerable to anyone is beyond me. Kids Food Basket began in 2002 with a handful of volunteers and $3000 bucks. Grass roots as it gets. Since then the organization has grown to encompass the hearts and minds of so many that the work and funding gets done, but it’s always a good time to find another way to pitch in.
February 28th at Northway Lanes in Muskegon you’ll have a chance to be in a Scotch Doubles Tournament to not only get you out of the house but you’ll get to help benefit the work going on to make sure that those who might not be getting fed at night have a nutritious meal. Yep…Muskegon knows how to fatten up a benefit with 50/50’s, raffles and other fun ways to get some money flowing! There will be a lot of great items up for raffle and maybe some auction stuff too. The evening consists of three games….which might include some “adventure” bowling and other nonsense! It’s $50 a pair and the benefits will go a LONG way to help fill those bellies at night so those getting fed have a chance to fuel their growing brains and carry on into a successful adulthood.
