Feed the Fight Kalamazoo - One Donated Meal At A Time

Did you know that Feed The Fight Kalamazoo is 100

Did you know that Feed The Fight Kalamazoo is 100 percent volunteer-run?

Kyle Keiser has volunteered in a variety of capacities -- from delivery driver to communications team member -- and shared some of her experiences on our blog at https://ftfkalamazoo.org/the-ftfk-volunteer-experience-by-kyle-keiser/

Here's some of what Kyle had to say:

"The most memorable meal pick up was from Premium Authentic Tamale Kitchen on Sprinkle Road. The family who so efficiently prepared and loaded up my car were emotionally connected to the purpose. With other family members who are front line workers, they knew the value of giving something back to the community to help. They made me want to frequent their business, recognize their service, and encourage others to be aware of the quality of their work and the heart behind it," Keiser said.

The drop-off end of the delivery was also moving, she said.

"When dropping off at the Family Health Center in Milwood, I was moved when I asked how many health care workers FTFK was serving there (the whole staff!). The huge number of people whose lives had been impacted, not just by the potential illness and the shutdown; but by the increased work demand, really hit home in that conversation."

Teamwork definitely makes the dream work at Feed The Fight, and we're so grateful to Kyle for her numerous contributions and for sharing her story about what it's like to participate in an entirely volunteer-run effort like this.

"From the ability to help with some social media, to signing up to be a driver; every person I encountered was a delight………and all in it together," she said. "All in it to Feed the Fight . To help local restaurants facing unbelievable challenges while providing meals to our front-line healthcare workers. This ………..felt like helping. This ………was a small way for me to contribute and make this time mean something."

It's been a whirlwind of a year, and sometimes it feels like there's bad news everywhere you turn.

Thankfully, our community has the Good News Paper that focuses on the positive things taking place in our region. Feed the Fight Kalamazoo was proud to be featured in the July issue of the magazine, which is available at 650 Southwest Michigan businesses and medical offices.

Check it out to read about how our 70-plus volunteers have teamed up with 74 local restaurants and retailers to provide over 5,300 meals (and counting) to frontline workers in the greater Kalamazoo area. The article also showcases an awesome fundraiser Louie's Trophy House hosted that raised $1,000 for Feed the Fight Kalamazoo. Thanks again to Louie's and all our awesome restaurant partners!
