Each year, Nelis' Dutch Village in Holland hosts a Community Food Drive for their opening day. This year, the event will take place on Saturday, April 18th, from 10am - 3pm, and Community Action House is once again the recipient of the donations of the Food Drive!

We're providing snacks and water, but feel free to bring whatever fuels you (coffee, etc.). Please note this volunteer opportunity takes place at Nelis' Dutch Village (12350 James St, Holland, MI 49424).
