Grand Ledge, MI â Every Saturday morning, right here in Grand Ledge, our community is doing something kind and strong. Stara Med Spa is teaming up with TLC Transportation to âFill the Vanâ with food for local families.
The drop-off runs from 8 AM to 12 PM on Saturdays, now through Thanksgiving. Itâs simple, itâs friendly, and it matters.
Where: Stara Med Spa, 820 Charlevoix Drive, Grand Ledge, MIWhen: Every Saturday until Thanksgiving, 8 AM â 12 PMWho: Publicâeveryone is welcomeWhat to bring: Non-perishable food (canned vegetables, soup, beans, pasta, rice, boxed meals, peanut butter), baby items (formula, baby food), and helpful extras (toiletries like toothpaste, soap, and deodorant). đ§Œ
This drive is about care. When we bring even one can, we help a neighbor eat. When we bring a bag, we help a whole family. The goal is to fill the TLC van as high as we canâtogether. If you are able, plan a quick stop after breakfast or before errands. A five-minute drop-off can change someoneâs day. đ
Easy tips for giving:
Choose sturdy items with long shelf lives (no glass if possible).
Check best-by dates to make sure items are good.
Pack foods that are easy to open and use (pull-tabs, single servings).
Think kid-friendly (mac & cheese, fruit cups, cereal).
Add a small note of kindness if you wantâit brings a smile. đ
Why this matters now: The weeks before Thanksgiving are busy and can be hard on many families. Food banks see more need. Our city shines when we step up with simple help. This drive gives us a clear path: bring a can, fill the van, feed a friend.

Letâs show the best of Grand Ledgeâkind hearts, strong hands, and a full van. See you Saturday! đ
