GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (GRPS) – This week we are celebrating the Nutrition Services warehouse team as our GRPS Champions. Behind the scenes and before the first bell rings, this dedicated team works tirelessly to ensure scholars across the district have access to healthy meals every single day.
“They deliver breakfast and lunch to all GRPS schools daily,” said Jennifer Laninga, Nutrition Services Supervisor. “Rain, snow, or sunshine they ensure that all GRPS scholars receive nutritious school meals daily.”
The warehouse team — Bob Tiesenca, DeQuasha Box, Stacie Proctor, Dave Dooge, Joe Steffens, Brad Droski, Tom Blawkamp, and Heidi Prichard — coordinates deliveries to 43 sites across the district. Each day, they transport supplies for 5,000 breakfasts and 10,000 lunches.
“Our warehouse team is the backbone of our operation,” Laninga added. “Their dedication and reliability make it possible for us to nourish scholars and remove barriers to learning each and every day.”
