Holy Redeemer began participating with area churches in the H2H program in 2009. The purpose of the program is to provide food to children who are facing hunger over the weekend. Their mission is:

“Hand2Hand delivers nutritious food to students over the weekends and on extended school breaks by mobilizing churches, schools, individuals, and businesses to join together, providing hope and opportunity to thrive.”

This ministry is a resource for children facing hunger over the weekend by providing healthy food so they have a greater opportunity to succeed. In collaboration with Hand2Hand Ministries, Holy Redeemer has partnered with Jenison Jr. High and San Juan Diego Academy. Packing is done once a month by four to six volunteers who sign up on Sign Up Genius. Additionally, volunteers sign up to deliver to either Jenison Jr. High or San Juan Diego Academy on Friday mornings. Bags are delivered while students are in class. Anyone 18 years or older are required to participate in a “Protecting God’s Children” Awareness Session or an on-line Awareness Session and complete standard paperwork.
