JAMMIES 2 JEANZ GIVING FUND

The Giving Pantry helps West Michigan families access everyday essentials when finances are stretched. The pantry provides items such as diapers, wipes, hygiene products, baby-care supplies, supplemental or emergency formula, children’s over-the-counter medicine, and other basic household necessities as resources allow.

Families may apply directly or be referred by a school, social worker, shelter, healthcare provider, or community organization. A referral is not required. Assistance is based on household need, available inventory, and program guidelines, and is intended to help families cover essential items they may otherwise struggle to afford.

The Giving Closet provides needs-based clothing assistance to West Michigan children and families through vouchers redeemable with approved participating clothing vendors. Assistance may be used for necessary items such as shirts, pants, pajamas, coats, shoes, socks, underwear, and other seasonally appropriate clothing.

Families may apply directly or through a referral partner. Clothing assistance is awarded based on demonstrated need, available funding, and program guidelines. The Giving Closet is designed to help families obtain appropriate clothing without requiring them to be customers of Jammies 2 Jeanz or purchase anything from the retail business.

Each year, the Jammies 2 Jeanz Giving Fund Backpack Drive brings our community together to help local children start the school year prepared. Throughout the year, we raise funds and collect donations to purchase new backpacks and school supplies, which are distributed to West Michigan children before the start of the school year. Families will be able to apply for assistance during the annual registration period, with backpacks provided based on available funding and supplies. Community donations, business sponsorships, and grants help us serve as many local students as possible each year. 

NO APPLICATION NECESSARY

Our current Emergency Relief Program is supporting residents of Mona Lake Mobile Home Park who are facing displacement and unexpected moving-related costs. Funds raised through the Jammies 2 Jeanz Giving Fund are being used to provide direct financial relief to participating households, helping ease the burden of relocation, housing changes, and other urgent needs during this transition.
