We are excited to share our first newsletter on what’s happening at Kalamazoo Valley Gleaners. God has a preferential love for the oppressed, and we’re constantly amazed how he’s working through Kalamazoo Valley Gleaners.
Here’s what’s happening:
Recently a generous supporter purchased a 23,000 sq. ft. building for our use! We are praising the Lord for this incredible blessing.
Our “Share the Bounty Fundraiser” on October 6 welcomed 210 guests to our building at 5541 King Highway. We shared our vision for feeding malnourished people around the world with the bountiful surplus of vegetables here in Southwest Michigan. Tim Paauw of Sus Manos Gleaners and Pete Wierenga of Niagara Christian Gleaners shared what God has done to feed millions through their gleaners.
Share the Bounty Fundraiser, October 6, 2022
We have received $625,000 in contributions to date.
That’s a fantastic start to our long-range goal of $1.5 million!
Our new building on King Highway.
Our Building Renovation Team is planning significant improvements to the 5541 King Highway building. A new roof will be completed soon.
