🧡 Full hearts, busy hands, and a little friendly competition 🧡
Yesterday, our RedWater teams had a blast volunteering with @kidsfoodbasket during Go Orange Month at both their Grand Rapids and Holland locations, helping pack sack suppers for local kids. Along the way, it turned into a fun competition to see who could fill the most bins… and yes, bragging rights are still up for debate.
We’re so grateful for the laughs, the teamwork, and the chance to support such an amazing organization in West Michigan that fights childhood hunger and provides healthy meals so every kid can enjoy a full belly and a bright smile. 🍊
🐟 + 🍟 + 🍋 + 😋 = Friday perfection!
Hand-breaded walleye or perch, crispy fries, dill pickle coleslaw, house-made tartar… all for just $20. #FishFryFriday
🧡 DRINKS THAT DO GOOD 🧡
This March, RedWater is proud to Go Orange in support of Kids’ Food Basket—helping provide meals and hope to children right here in West Michigan. Because something as simple as a drink can make a real impact. 🍊
✨ Featured for a Cause ✨
Orange Creamsicle | $10
A nostalgic favorite, reimagined—Dhos Bittersweet & Dhos Orange, fresh OJ, vanilla simple, and a touch of cream.
Make it spirited with Tito’s Vodka | $12
Every sip gives back, with a portion of proceeds supporting Kids’ Food Basket and their mission to end childhood hunger. Come raise a glass (and make a difference while you’re at it). 🧡
