Pay it Forward Thanksgiving Meals

Lake Effect Kitchen Gives Back to the Community

By Sarah Boucher, Publisher Macaroni Kid Grand Haven, Spring Lake, and Muskegon November 4, 2020

Lake Effect Kitchen in Grand Haven lives up to their motto of #EatWellDoGood. This year will be their third year of providing Pay it Forward Thanksgiving Meals. Each year this initiative has grown thanks to the generosity of our community. Their goal this year is to provide meals for 50 local families.

The Lake Effect Kitchen Thanksgiving meal includes a fully-cooked turkey dinner for four people with all the trimmings. For just $40 you will receive:

  • Turkey
  • Mashed potatoes
  • Gravy
  • Cranberry apple stuffing
  • Brussels sprouts gratin
  • Cranberry sauce






Interested in providing a meal to a family in the community? Simply select the "Pay it Forward" option on the Lake Effect Kitchen website. If you have a recipient in mind, you can include their contact information in the "notes" section of your order and Lake Effect Kitchen will handle the rest! Aren't sure of a family to provide a meal to? No problem! Lake Effect Kitchen will be sure your donated meal reaches a family in the area. 

You could even consider collaborating with friends, neighbors, family members, or coworkers to come together and provide funding for a meal.

And, while you're thinking of meal planning, consider ordering for yourself as well. Take a night off of cooking and enjoy a homestyle meal made for you by Lake Effect Kitchen.

Turkey dinners will be available for pickup or delivery in the Grand Haven area Thanksgiving week. Don’t live in the Grand Haven, Mich. area? Order through Market Wagon West Michigan to get delivery in the greater Grand Rapids-Muskegon-Kalamazoo region.
