THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
At Volunteers in Action at The Gathering Place, we are dedicated
to supporting local organizations in Montcalm County. Our
all-volunteer team works tirelessly to meet the basic needs
of individuals and families in our community.
Meal Packets and More
Your response to the community hunger need has been extraordinary! We have made dozens of meal packets with deliveries to Bread of Life, Greenville Area Ecumenical Food Pantry, Barrie's House, Sheridan and Lakeview food pantries. While the SNAP crisis might be over, the need for food will continue. So watch for sales, donate when you can and we will monitor the pantries for their needs.
***We will continue to collect Hormel Compleats Meals,
fruit cups and soft breakfast bars indefinitely.

Giving Tuesday is December 2
We will be open from 10:00 AM-2:00 PM to accept contributions. We look forward to receiving Community Foundation funds in 2026, but it does not cover the entire budget. Please plan to make VIA-TGP part of your annual Giving Tuesday support if you are able.
Thanks for helping us... helping others!
