Revive & Thrive Project’s Impact
80,000 Nourishing Meals Served
Revive & Thrive Project has delivered healthy meals since 2015. Critically ill individuals and families receive up to 24 weeks of nutritious, fresh, home-delivered meals. Ingredients are sourced locally to support West Michigan farms.
“I truly believe food is medicine. I have seen these meals comfort and heal many who are fighting cancer or chronic illness.”
135 Teens Empowered
Revive & Thrive Project centers teens in our kitchen, a hallmark of our program since its founding. High school students learn healthy eating & cooking, develop job skills, and contribute to their community. On average, teens are involved in our kitchen for 18 months.
“I really love learning new skills and working alongside people who have the same interests. I liked cooking before, but I definitely cook a lot more now. I incorporate skills and techniques that I learn at Revive & Thrive into my daily cooking. ”
23,000+ Volunteer Hours
Revive & Thrive Project promotes positive connections with an intergenerational volunteer team. Hundreds of volunteers from all walks of life, including many former meal recipients and their families and friends, contribute to our mission by cooking, packaging, and delivering meals each week.
“Revive & Thrive volunteers are an energetic and cheerful team dedicated to providing physical and emotional sustenance.”
1,290 People Served
Revive & Thrive Project supports healthier communities. Up to 6 months of healthy, home-delivered meals along with nutrition education promote healthy eating, reduce stress, and can improve health outcomes for those facing serious illness and their families.
“When I was diagnosed with cancer, I didn’t know what to do. Revive & Thrive helped me out of my funk and taught me to eat healthy. Now I eat less red meat and more vegetables.”
