For thousands of local families, putting healthy food on the table continues to be a daily struggle. Rising costs, limited resources and gaps in assistance programs mean many households turn to the TrueNorth’s Hunger Prevention Programs for support, especially when it comes to accessing fresh produce.

That’s why programs like Plant-a-Row for Hunger are so important.
Each year, generous local gardeners and farmers plant extra rows specifically to donate fresh vegetables to TrueNorth’s Food Center. These donations provide nutritious food that is often difficult and expensive for families to obtain. Last year alone, the campaign brought in more than 9,000 pounds of fresh produce for local households.

Michiganders may experience an alternative gas supplier canvassing their neighborhood to enroll customers with their services, since these gas choice providers sometimes market their products door-to-door. But there is always a chance a person could also be impersonating various utility workers to scam customers out of their hard-earned money or might be using unethical methods to pressure a resident to switch their services.

Regardless of tactics, it’s important for customers to be aware that there are, unfortunately, a variety of utility-based scams out there.

Project FOCUS at Edgewood Elementary in Muskegon Heights had an unforgettable experience on May 19th when Critchlow Alligator Sanctuary stopped by to visit! They were able to get up close and personal with five awesome reptiles:

Spike the Bearded Dragon

Two African Giant Millipedes

T-Rex the African Spurred Tortoise

A Red-tailed Boa

And last but certainly not least-The King himself-Elvis the Alligator!

The students loved having the opportunity to touch and hold these awesome reptiles-which is evident by the many smiles that were captured! Sadly, even Elvis had to leave the building! Thank you Bryce from Critchlow Alligator Sanctuary for a visit that the students are still talking about!

We often say volunteers are the lifeblood of our organization. The fact of the matter is; we wouldn’t be able to accomplish a fraction of what we do without them. In 2025, 383 individuals gave almost 10,000 hours of their time and talents to TrueNorth.

Every year, TrueNorth honors several individuals and organizations with public recognition at our Community of Efforts celebration. The event, which features live music and a catered meal, in addition to the awards presentations, is designed as a well-deserved thank you to TrueNorth’s many volunteers and donors.
