When you sign up for Water Street’s Loyalty Rewards, you earn three reward points for every dollar you spend at any of our café locations. These points can be redeemed for discounts OR you can choose to donate a portion directly to our Featured Non-Profit. From April through June 2025, our Featured Non-Profit is God’s Kitchen of Michigan.

God’s Kitchen of Michigan is a soup kitchen established to provide free dinners to poor and needy citizens. Incorporated in 2011, their mission is to combat hunger in our state by serving free hearty and nutritious dinners to hungry, homeless, senior citizens, families, the disabled and veterans. 

Serving their first dinner in October, 2011, 86 hungry souls enjoyed a free soul food dinner. Since then, more than 158,000 meals have been served to the homeless and other hungry citizens living in Battle Creek, Kalamazoo, Portage, and East Lansing. God’s Kitchen currently serves dinners at various meal sites in Kalamazoo on Wednesday’s, 5pm- 6pm.

God’s Kitchen is also known for partnering with Bronco’s Kitchen, a private nonprofit corporation. Their objective is to substantially reduce student hunger at Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo College, and Kalamazoo Valley Community College by providing free dinners for food-insecure students. Looking to get involved? Apply to volunteer today on their website or by calling 269-615-8080

Water Street is proud to support God’s Kitchen and we hope that you can help us in this effort.
