The Revive & Thrive Difference
Supporting Health
Revive & Thrive Project supports medical providers and social workers to improve the experience of care, reduce healthcare costs, and improve the health of our community.
We’re dedicated to strengthening the health of people, communities and the planet through exceptional patient care, engaging youth and adult volunteers, educating the community about healthy eating, and supporting a just and sustainable food system.
“I truly believe food is medicine. I have seen these meals comfort and heal many who are fighting cancer or chronic illness. I am so glad to be a part of Revive & Thrive Project.”
Quality & Care
A Revive & Thrive meal is…
WHOLE when an individual’s appetite is compromised, every bite counts. Our meals are delicious and nutrient-rich.
LOCAL the freshest foods, at their peak.
SEASONAL reflecting the changing produce available from Michigan farms.
MADE WITH LOVE by our teen and adult volunteers, because we care!
“Having these prepared meals helps me keep my strength up. I used to miss several meals because I can’t stand up that long to cook, so I just starved. But with Revive & Thrive meals I don’t worry any longer. Just to know I have food in my fridge that I can heat up and eat is amazing.”
More than a Meal
Revive & Thrive Project provides exceptional care to those with serious illness:
Delivering whole-food, healthy, locally-sourced meals right to the individual’s door.
Reducing social isolation through weekly connections with our volunteer Delivery Angels, phone check-ins, and handmade cards.
Offering nutrition education through informational worksheets, simple recipes, and long-term resources for nutritious food.
“How wonderful it is to have something already prepared that I feel good about eating! And to know that local, caring hands have put it together with kindness. The care and kindness behind the food is encouragement to the soul! ”
Our Track Record
Since 2015, Revive & Thrive Project has prepared and home-delivered over 63,000 meals to people who are too sick to cook for themselves. Our healthy meals are made from scratch by teen volunteers with guidance from our professional chef and adult volunteer team.
As the leader in providing nutrient-rich meals for the seriously ill in Kent County, Revive & Thrive Project creates meals that feature fresh, seasonal ingredients. We use organic, locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
