At Action House, we work to ensure that every neighbor in our community has what they need to thrive - and we are consistently inspired by all of the ways that our community joins alongside in this work!

In their MiSustainable Holland Article, our friends at the Holland Sentinel recently highlighted the food rescue efforts of Hope College students in partnership with our Lakeshore Food Rescue team. We are so grateful to see their work, and the program, celebrated! You can read the full article here: Hope College student-led project puts surplus food to good use

The project, led by Hope College students, focuses on rescuing surplus food from the college's dining services and redirecting it to those in need. This initiative not only addresses the pressing issue of food waste—an ongoing concern given that nearly 40% of food produced in the U.S. is wasted—but also ensures that nutritious meals reach those who might otherwise go without.

Our Lakeshore Food Rescue program works to turn excess food into food access by collaborating with local grocery stores, businesses, and volunteers to rescue fresh food that would otherwise go to waste and redirect it to our neighbors who need it most. Learn more at lakeshorefoodrescue.org!
