About this Event

September marks Family Meals Month, a national initiative designed to celebrate the positive impact parents can have in leading their children away from engaging in substance use and other risky behavior.  Research shows children with parents who are ‘hands on’ and involved in their day-today activities and lives are far less likely to smoke, drink or use drugs.  This fall, Network180 and the Kent County Prevention "The Recipe" a local non-profit, will lead a special Family Meals Month partering with Grand Rapids Parks and Recreation.  Families are invited to enjoy a picnic at MLK park where Pizza will be provided for the first 50 families.
