Events at We Care

Throughout the year, We Care will host events that raise funds along with awareness of the needs in our community.

If you would like to host an event for We Care, please reach out to our office. We would love to partner with you!

Community Conversations

This is open and free to the whole community. Please join us for our featured speakers, free dinner and free child-care. Gas cards available for those who are in need in order to make it accessible.

These events are hosted at We Care by our Circles program, empowering low-income families to be financially independent. With in 18 months, most families can get to over 200% of federal poverty level.

We are currently recruiting both participants (called Cirlce Leaders) and mentors (called Allies) for our next cohort starting in October. For more information, please contact the Circles coordinator at circlesvbc@wecare-inc.org.

Warm Your Heart.

Every February, We Care raises funds for our program and ministries through our Warm Your Heart Campaign. This is a time for the community to come together, host a fundraising event, and bring in desperately needed donations for our pantries, programs and ministries. Events include by aren’t limited to: Chili dinner, soup lunch, concert(s), Give-Back Day at a restaurant or business, donation location, and more! At the end of the month, our culmination event is the Island Sit, where We Care staff, volunteers and community members stand on Fireman’s Island downtown South haven to raise funds from passersby. There are many ways to raise funds, and we invite you to join us in February to make the most of this campaign.

Bountiful Baskets Campaign

Our Bountiful Baskets Campaign runs from March 1 - September 30 each year, and collects items for our pantries. The baskets are FREE and available for pick up in our office (1301 M-43 Hwy, Suite 2B); if you would like the baskets delivered to you, please let us know. Then, once the baskets are filled, they are returned to We Care, where we have volunteers to sort the times and get them to the designated pantry. With 6 pantries, the need is great and every little bit counts! Please contact our office today to get your basket.

Blueberry Festival 5K

Start Line Monitors

If you’re available the second Friday and Saturday in August, we’d love to have you join us!

We also get a percentage of the race fee’s, so if you’re a runner or walker, be sure to sign up for the 5K. It’s a beautiful course that goes along Lake Michigan so it’s sure to be a winner!

Holiday Trains and Trees

Every December, We Care partners with the Holand Modular Train Club and Woodhams Ford Lincoln to offer a festival family experience. Beautiful Christmas trees, hand decorated by local school children and/or community members, adorn the showroom. Along with the trees is an amazing train town set up and a sight to behold! Complete with a scavenger hunt, there are over 5 trains that run through mountains, car shows, a driver in theater, grocery stores and more. Fun for the whole family - young and old. This is a free event and all trees are available for purchase or donation.

Join us!
