Love Week '26 

you're invited!

Join us at Love Week 2026 — our 12th annual community outreach to support families across Southwest Michigan. This week is all about sharing the love and hope of Jesus in practical ways with no strings attached.

what is love week?

July 28-30, we’ll be in Vicksburg, Paw Paw and Kalamazoo for three nights of fun for the whole family. Each night, we’ll be giving away the following — all in partnership with Valley Groceries, our weekly food pantry that serves local families every Tuesday:

• Free groceries and fresh produce
• Back-to-school backpacks for kids (children must be present)
• Diapers, wipes, and baby formula
• Stuffed animals
• Inflatables, cookouts, face painting, and more

This year, we’re excited to be able to give away 1,400 backpacks across all three locations. Please note: Children must be present to receive a backpack, and supplies are limited—so come early to get your ticket.

Keep scrolling for event details at each location. We can't wait to meet you and serve your family!

For God So Loved Southwest Michigan

Let’s come together and be the hands and feet of Jesus — serving our neighbors and loving our city!

All it's going to take is all of us. Here’s how you can help make Love Week happen:

1. Serve — Sign up to volunteer at one of our Love Week locations. You can sign up in person in the atrium at church or online (see below). Volunteer spots are limited, so register soon!
2. Give — Donate new or gently-loved stuffed animals (collection bins are located in the preschool ministry horseshoe), adopt a backpack on Sunday, July 19th or 26th, or simply make a financial gift toward these efforts here.
3. Spread The Word — Help us get the details of this event out to your local community. Share the information on social media, send an email to your school and invite those in your world who could be blessed by Love Week.
