This week, some of the nation’s best golfers will be competing in West Michigan for the Meijer LPGA Classic.
It’s not just about golf, but helping families in need.
About 60 people came to pick up food today at The Other Way Ministries. The pantry usually sees about 900 people a month. It received 653 pounds of produce this morning.
This afternoon, Meijer Executive Chairman Hank Meijer and LPGA pro Brittany Lang toured the pantry at The Other Way Ministries and had a chance to ask questions and see the work that’s being done.
Scott Bloem, executive director of The Other Way Ministries said the organization has been seeing a large number of people come through, especially in the last couple of years.
“Four to five years ago we saw around 150 families come through every month, and in 2023, we saw over 10,000 household come through, that’s over 900 a month, that’s sixfold increase,” said Bloem.
