First Congregational Church (FCC) shares a nutritious and free breakfast with about 150 of its neighbors on the LAST SATURDAY of every month. Volunteers from other churches and service organizations assist in producing the meal, sharing the meal, socializing with each other and the guests, and making referrals to other social services that aid income-constrained individuals and families.

Fruitport Christian Reformed Church

The Fruitport Area Churches blend our gifts and resources to host a community food pantry at Fruitport Christian Reformed Church.  Combining several smaller pantries during Covid, the Neighbor-to-Neighbor Pantry serves neighbors in Muskegon & Ottawa County. We are networked with Love Inc Muskegon & Love in Action Grand Haven.  In 2023, nearly 450 families in need received assistance.  Neighbors select from a weekly menu of non-perishables, dairy, meat, frozen, personal care, and basic household items & paper products.  We are grateful for neighbors, local businesses, and Crop Walk for helping us keep our shelves filled.  The hosting system we have provides for follow-up calls to offer prayer, deepen connections for the lonely, and provide referrals to other ministries.
