Eightcap AmeriCorps Senior Foster Grandparent and Senior Companion Programs

08/06/2026

The last day of back to school training for the Foster Grandparent volunteers with our own Melissa Stevens, 0-5 Head Start Coordinator, speaking about the Head Start food program.
Training included Senior Companion volunteers yesterday with topics of Dementia training with Nicole & Sara from Heartland Hospice, Ashley Nowland from Montcalm Area Intermediate on Autism, and plenty of sharing from the volunteers which encourages other volunteers to have a successful and fun year.
They are all off to a great start for the new year!

Calling on our Big Rapids area friends to Shoe Us the Love!

Please help us spread the word and make this special "Drive-in & Drop-off" event a success. Between Montcalm and Ionia counties, we have received 979 pairs of shoes so far that will benefit those in need. We're pretty sure Mecosta County will not let us down.

We will be at the Big Rapids TSC parking lot on Sunday, June 14th from 12:00-3:00. We will gladly unload your vehicle, so dig out those shoes that have been taking up space in your closets and Shoe Us the Love!
