Grand Ledge, MI — 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 “Fill the Van” with food for local families.

The drop-off runs from 8 AM to 12 PM on Saturdays, now through Thanksgiving. It’s simple, it’s friendly, and it matters.

Where: Stara Med Spa, 820 Charlevoix Drive, Grand Ledge, MIWhen: Every Saturday until Thanksgiving, 8 AM – 12 PMWho: Public—everyone 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). đŸ§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 can—together. If you are able, plan a quick stop after breakfast or before errands. A five-minute drop-off can change someone’s day. 💙

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 want—it brings a smile. 🙂

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.

Need more info or to ask a question?Stop by during the drive and chat with the team on site, or message Stara Med Spa on Facebook. If you can’t make a Saturday, consider setting a reminder for next week or asking a friend to drop off your items.

Let’s show the best of Grand Ledge—kind hearts, strong hands, and a full van. See you Saturday! 🚗
