Where and How We Show Up for Each Other
Golf outings, food drives, market days, pop-up sales; some raise money, and others are just a good excuse to see your community. Either way, we’re glad you’re here.

Hope for the Holidays
This holiday season, let’s come together to shine hope in northern Kent County. Your generosity provides more than food and basic needs, it affirms dignity, builds connection, and strengthens the sense of belonging for our neighbors.
Donate new, unwrapped gifts for children (teens gifts are needed most). Contact us to get tags for the Tree of Hope. Tags will have suggested items for each age group, or visit our Amazon Wish List.
Community Connect
Join us for Community Connect, a free lunch and guided tour of North Kent Connect. In just an hour, you’ll see firsthand how NKC provides food, housing assistance, transportation, and other essential services to our neighbors throughout northern Kent County.
Reach out to Angela Bills with any questions about signing up: (616) 866-3478 ext. 346.
