This memorable evening outside in Madison Square will include:

  • A "home-cooked" meal from 49507 chefs

  • Libations and sweet treats from local entrepreneurs

  • Live entertainment

  • Tours of local business Superbloom Farms

  • Amp the Good stories that honor and uplift neighborhood greatness

Enjoy time together while we amplify community experts - the neighbors - who poured back into the Southeast side of Grand Rapids through various Amp the Good grants.
