Hunger Solution Center Expansion Project

So thankful for the efforts from the Saginaw Valley State University SVSU Cardinal Solutions students who helped us in designing our website, logo, letterhead, pr efforts and so much more! Being able to support students with real life projects to learn from was an additional positive outcome of our overall Hunger Solution Center Expansion Project with East Side Soup Kitchen and Hidden Harvest!

The student-led effort contributed to an $8.8 million campaign to double meal preparation space and triple refrigeration capacity at the Hunger Solution Center, with construction completion targeted for December 2026.

Thanks to the leadership of . Blake Johnson for keeping the students and our team on track and always heading toward our goal!

The Hunger Solution Center Building Expansion Campaign has now raised over $8.3 million.
