SUMMARY:Gold Coast's 8th Annual Diaper Drive with Nestlings Diaper Bank & Great Start Parent Coalition
DESCRIPTION:Gold Coast Doulas is holding our 8th annual Diaper Drive from September 1st to October 1st\, 2023. Giving back is an important foundation of our business as a Certified B Corporation; clean diapers make a significant impact on the health of new families and our giving focus is on supporting low-income women and children.\n\nOne in two U.S. families with young children struggle to afford diapers and no government programs currently provide them. This rate increased from one in three in past years. Food\, shelter\, and utilities are the only items covered by assistance.

Diaper Need Awareness Week is an initiative of the National Diaper Bank Network (NDBN)\, created to make a difference in the lives of the nearly 5.2 million babies in the United States aged three or younger who live in poor or low-income families. Our annual diaper drive benefits Nestlings Diaper Bank of West Michigan and Great Start Parent Coalition of Kent County. Holland-based Nestlings has distributed over 2 million diapers and helped over 50\,000 families since 2011. Nestlings Diaper Bank also works with 31 partner agencies to distribute the diapers to the families in need.\n\nOur goal is to collect 10\,000 diapers to support families in need in Kent\, Ottawa\, and Allegan counties to celebrate our 8th anniversary. We collect opened and unopened boxes and packages of new disposable diapers\, used cloth diapers and cloth supplies\, new cloth diapers\, and new boxes or packages of wipes. We need your help to make this happen.\n\nDiaper donations will be accepted from September 1 to October 1st at the following partnered drop-off locations:\nIn Zeeland:\nHoward Miller Library 14 S.

SUMMARY:Route 60: The Biblical Highway (Fathom Event)
DESCRIPTION:Carving through the heart of the Promised Land is the Biblical spine of Israel\, sometimes referred to as the Path of the Patriarchs and officially designated as Route 60. A highway of deep historical significance while often the scene of unrest and violence\, this 146-mile road of asphalt and concrete begins in Nazareth\, Israel’s largest Arab city\, and ends in Beersheba\, one of Israel’s hi-tech centers. Running North to South\, Route 60 connects ancient Israel with modern Israel\, Jews and Christians with Muslims\, and Israelis with Palestinians. This trek is far more than a two-lane highway; It is a historic\, sacred link to the roots of Judaism and Christianity and the stories of the Old and New Testaments. Follow world-changing diplomats David Friedman and Mike Pompeo as they venture down this sacred road\, treading the very ground Abraham\, Jacob\, King David\, and Jesus once walked. Discover the history\, witness the healing\, and realize the hope along Route 60\, the Biblical Highway.\n\nPlaying on 9/18 & 9/19 at:\nCelebration North\nCelebration Benton\nCelebration Lansing\nCelebration Rivertown\nCelebration Crossroads

SUMMARY:Lions & Rabbits Benefit at the University Club of Grand Rapids
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the University Club of Grand Rapids to celebrate and support local public art.\nLions & Rabbits Center for the Arts is excited to announce the launch of a series of fundraisers focusing on the intersection between the culinary arts and the visual arts experience in West Michigan—while raising money for our organization.\n\nThese fundraisers feature a series of unique dining events hosted at some of the best restaurants\, unique venues\, or intimate settings in the area. Each event is designed to showcase the culinary talents of local chefs and highlight the diverse food culture of West Michigan.\nOur goal with these events is to bring people together for exciting opportunities outside of the typical\, to push the boundaries of what food and art people are exposed to\, and raise funds for our public art initiatives through a more organic platform than the popular gala format.\n\nWe’re pleased that the first event in this fall’s lineup will take place on September 22nd at the University Club of Grand Rapids\, featuring a menu inspired by a variety of regional food cultures. Set against views from the University Club’s home at the tenth floor of the Fifth Third Center in downtown Grand Rapids\, guests will enjoy a strolling dining experience\, cocktails provided by High Five Spirits\, music\, and local art. Guests will also have the opportunity to learn about several other area organizations supporting the arts—to tie in with the event’s happening during this year’s ArtPrize.\n\nDate: September 22\, 2023\nDoors: 5:30pm\nFood Service: 6:00pm\nRemarks: 6:30pm\n\n(For guests over 21 tickets will come with two complementary drink tokens for cocktails tailored for the evening by our sponsors.)\n\nThis partnership with the University Club of Grand Rapids is an exciting opportunity for Lions & Rabbits and our guests. Their commitment to using fresh\, locally-sourced ingredients and their innovative approach to cuisine make them the perfect partner for this event.\n\nAll proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards supporting the work of Lions & Rabbits Center for the Arts\, which is dedicated to promoting lucrative public art opportunities for artists and robust arts education in West Michigan.\n\nWe believe that art and culture are essential to the health and vitality of our community. Through these fundraisers\, we hope to not only raise money in support of our programs but also raise awareness of the incredible culinary resources we have right here in West Michigan.\nFor more information about Lions & Rabbits Center for the Arts\, visit our website at www.lionsandrabbits.com.\n\nContact: John Fenton (john@lionsandrabbits.com)

SUMMARY:Gold Coast's 8th Annual Diaper Drive with Nestlings Diaper Bank & Great Start Parent Coalition
DESCRIPTION:Gold Coast Doulas is holding our 8th annual Diaper Drive from September 1st to October 1st\, 2023. Giving back is an important foundation of our business as a Certified B Corporation; clean diapers make a significant impact on the health of new families and our giving focus is on supporting low-income women and children.\n\nOne in two U.S. families with young children struggle to afford diapers and no government programs currently provide them. This rate increased from one in three in past years. Food\, shelter\, and utilities are the only items covered by assistance. Diapers are expensive and many families make tough choices between paying rent and utilities or buying diapers. Research shows that 48% of parents delay changing diapers and 32% report re-using diapers to make supplies last longer.\n\nThe Gold Coast Doulas diaper drive coincides with National Diaper Need Awareness Week\, September 18th – Sept 24th. Diaper Need Awareness Week is an initiative of the National Diaper Bank Network (NDBN)\, created to make a difference in the lives of the nearly 5.2 million babies in the United States aged three or younger who live in poor or low-income families. Our annual diaper drive benefits Nestlings Diaper Bank of West Michigan and Great Start Parent Coalition of Kent County. Holland-based Nestlings has distributed over 2 million diapers and helped over 50\,000 families since 2011. Nestlings Diaper Bank also works with 31 partner agencies to distribute the diapers to the families in need.\n\nOur goal is to collect 10\,000 diapers to support families in need in Kent\, Ottawa\, and Allegan counties to celebrate our 8th anniversary. We collect opened and unopened boxes and packages of new disposable diapers\, used cloth diapers and cloth supplies\, new cloth diapers\, and new boxes or packages of wipes. We need your help to make this happen.\n\nDiaper donations will be accepted from September 1 to October 1st at the following partnered drop-off locations:\nIn Zeeland:\nHoward Miller Library 14 S. Church Street\nLake Michigan Credit Union 8630 E. Main St\n\nIn Holland:\nBrann’s 12234 James Street\nEcoBuns Baby + Co. 11975 E. Lakewood Blvd Suite 6\nThe Insurance Group 593 Heritage Court\nR.
