Take what you need, leave what you can pantry in Muskegon Heights
Emily Scarlett anchoring/reporting
MUSKEGON HEIGHTS, Mich. - The Us Café is doubling as a community hub and gathering space, and whether you stop inside or not, they’re helping people right outside their front door.
Kaja Thornton is The Us Café owner. She told 13 ON YOUR SIDE, “We took the us out of business and made it a place for us.”
It’s been up and running since the start of the pandemic.
“We’re a hub space for Muskegon Heights. You can come and get all types of resources,” she said.
The business is constantly adding new ways to serve the community like with the Loaves & Fishes Pantry.
Thornton explains that you “take what you need. Leave what you can.”
It’s an idea that came from another company offering a similar service.
“Access Health had an extra pantry in their storage that they weren’t using. It was just sitting there and that was God saying that it was needed here in Muskegon Heights on the corner of Barney and Maffett,” said Thornton. It fills a need that’s unique to The Heights. “If you know, Muskegon Heights is a 4x4 food apartheid. There are no grocery stores in Muskegon Heights.”
“So, if you have maybe a can of tomato paste and you need a can of cream of mushroom soup, you leave yours and take another. You can place unexpired food, hygiene, paper items inside the mini pantry. Bags of toothpaste, toothbrushes, personal items for feminine hygiene, deodorant, those types of things as well,” Thornton said demonstrating the ease of use of the pantry.
“You name it, you think of it, we, as men, we need it as well: lotion, toothpaste, combs, brushes, razors, shave cream, underwear, all of those types of things,” said Jeff Walker, the founder of Men of Recovery Evolving (M.O.R.E), a nonprofit supporting men who have survived trauma.
“As men come and they see that someone is taking an interest and taking a care in how they present themselves, they will have a better outlook,” he said.
These efforts take a village and that they have. The Covenant Community Church next door provides a produce stand, pulling fresh fruits and vegetables from the neighborhood community garden.
“Kids Food Basket, they bring bags of food for the children. Now that it’s summertime, you know they’re not getting off those buses and we leave a cooler outside all night for those children and people in the community to grab a bag of food,” said Thornton.

The Muskegon County Bicycling Coalition has added an extra stop to their route.
“They ride their bikes with a little trailer behind full of items to stock our pantry every week,” said Thornton.
“It’s not always about what you can get out of something. It’s always about what you can provide for someone else,” said Walker.
Thornton encourages others to find ways to contribute, and said, “If you have a passion project, if you’re working with others and your co-workers - ‘I’ve got a bunch of stuff, let’s get a box together and bring it.’”
She added, “We’re right here on the corner of Barney and Maffett just trying to be a beacon of light right here in Muskegon Heights.”
The pantry has been operating for almost two years now, but Thornton said she’s worried not enough people know about this necessary resource.

It sounds a bit like Django, with a rhythm section as well. Why did this instrument not catch on much more?
Are they getting that desperate for applications? It gives a bad message to the public. How do you cover those ugly arms?
This was the theme to some movie or TV show, but I can't remember which one! Love the sound! This is a remarkable instrument in the hands of a master musician
The movie was "The Third Man" with Orson Welles and Joseph Cotten, screenplay by Graham Greene based on his own novel. The zither player for the film was Anton Karas, who I think also wrote this music. A terrific film with great music.

cool little tool shop...bet it costs a *fortune* in addition to being useful. lol, more importantly, EMILY SCARLETT, what a woman! 😍

Interesting history video.
Black history? That’s racist and anyone who separates history by skin color is a racist. The ignorance is amazing!
Just listened to the book. It was amazing. I could not stop listening to it
He said it ! We are still living in the consequences and the judicial system is the new Jim Crow!
They broke rule that your fore fathers made to trap slave people that shouldn't have no freedom like them. As if they gave birth to them and still some of it still exists.
2:36 Still living with the consequences of that history. Thank you Dr. Pitz for making that statement. Too many people in this country will not accept that basic truth.
Wow
God bless their souls!

This is so cool. There is a great college in Geneseo NY where I attended a long time ago. I never realized the connection between the two towns. They discovered a tunnel running from the Genesee River up to Geneseo NY in 2018, that they think was part of the Underground Railroad too.

This is a fictional story..completely false
@Brown Sugar & Spice ..and your reason is?
Bro I live there and it’s completely true. I’ve actually been in the museum.
@@lehmanfamily3174 using just common sense alone, imagine thousands of people..young, old, pregnant..crawling through spaces that can barely fit two people, no ventilation and other extreme conditions..I’m just saying,Make it make sense 🤷♂️
@@sevenft3Get your facts. Read the book Left to Tell. It's by a survivor of the massacres in Rwanda. She tells how she escaped and was given a hiding place along with a group of young women. That space was about 4 feet by 3 feet and they could only stand during the time they had to be hidden. Read about the places Jews had to hide when they were in nazi Germany and I'm sure it wasn't exactly the Ritz-Carlton.
@@annarodriguez9868 key word “Rwanda”…you can’t debate the truth 😉
The same American Airlines who drag passengers off planes for no reason. The irony. As sweet a story that it is....makes you wonder.
That was United.
That was UA..and they had a reason. Alot more to the story.
Point 1: Can we just celebrate the feel good factor of this story instead of clouding it with negativity. Point 2: Passengers get dragged off planes by all airlines for a reason.
That's United dummy
That was united
Did he say the justice system is the new form of Jim Crow ?
