Feed the Fight Kalamazoo, founded by Jodi Hope Michaels, Sally Hadden and Adam Strong-Morse is based on the Washington DC model to support the greater Kalamazoo area. This effort is built on a straightforward idea: the public donates money to FTF Kalamazoo, the money is used to purchase meals from local restaurants and then the meals are delivered to healthcare workers and first responders. The purchases support local restaurants while providing nourishing meals and a morale boost to those on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic. And the general public has a chance to demonstrate their gratitude while observing social distancing.
Feed the Fight Kalamazoo operates under the fiduciary umbrella of Colleagues International, a Kalamazoo-based citizen diplomacy organization and 501(c)(3) non-profit. Contributions to Feed the Fight Kalamazoo are tax deductible.
“Your work over this past year has been nothing short of amazing. When so many other individuals went to shelter in place on the governor’s order you immediately went to work and thought – how can you support your communities and particularly the essential workers on the frontline?…On behalf of the Family Health Center, we are honored to present you with a 2020 Healthcare Hero award.”
–Denise Crawford, CEO of Family Health Center
