Ribbon Cutting

  • Revive & Thrive 1815 Hall St SE Grand Rapids United States (map)

Join us for a special celebration as we cut the ribbon on our brand-new walk-in cooler!

Agenda:
3–3:10 p.m. — Welcome from Executive Director Amy Thomas-Mellema & Executive Chef Mandy Thompson
3:10–3:15 p.m. — Ribbon cutting with the GR Chamber (our board member Julie VanGessel will be there to do the honors!)
3:15–3:30 p.m. — Optional kitchen tour

Why this matters:
This cooler is a game-changer! We've already scaled up to serve 595 meals for 85 people in our community. This update means we can welcome more teen chefs into our kitchen and deepen our partnerships with local farmers and food producers. It's infrastructure that truly serves our mission and nourishes families facing life-altering illnesses.
