We’re so grateful to the Lighthouse Quilt Guild in Grand Haven, Mich., for their generous donation of 12 handmade quilts to the Trinity Health Breast Center! These beautiful, thoughtfully crafted quilts will bring warmth and comfort to patients during their care journey. Each quilt reflects the Guild members’s incredible talent and compassion, and we’re honored to have their support in our Mission to provide exceptional care with dignity and respect. Thank you for making a meaningful difference in the lives of others!

On October 16, 2025, the Trinity Health Office of Philanthropy received a check for $33,006.71 from the organizers of Cars for Cancer! This remarkable gift reflects the deep commitment of local volunteers and donors to advancing compassionate, high-quality cancer care on the lakeshore. We are grateful for their partnership over the last 21 years, during which time this annual community event has raised a total of $433,000 for our Johnson Family Cancer Center. Cars for Cancer continues to inspire generosity and connection to our Mission, and we are proud to steward these resources in service of our patients and families.

We’re sending a heartfelt thank you to the incredible Stitch-n-Time group from Grant Reformed Church in Grant, Michigan, for their generous donation to Trinity Health! Their recent gift included: 493 knitted hats (WOW!), and special items for our breast cancer patients: heart pillows (120), drain tube holders (65), and seatbelt protectors (96). Each handmade item is crafted with care and compassion, bringing comfort to our patients and supporting our Mission of healing. Stitch-n-Time members, our team was thrilled to reconnect with last week—your passion and dedication truly shine through in everything you create.

Shoutout to The Farm at Trinity Health Muskegon for turning bushels of fresh produce into powerful care through the Food is Medicine initiative! Prescriptions for fruits and veggies grown right here in Muskegon? Yes, please! This is such a beautiful example of how access to nutritious food can support better health and healing in our community. Because good food isn’t just fuel—it’s compassion, connection and care.

We’re sending a heartfelt thank you to the Nowak and Meloche families for their generous donation to the Trinity Health Muskegon Birth Center! After their daughter, Collins, spent time in our Special Care Nursery, Adam and Jillian Meloche, along with Jillian’s parents, Ken and Amy Nowak, donated three MamaRoo® Baby Swings to help soothe and comfort our tiniest patients. 💗These swings offer moments of calm for newborns and support for families and care teams alike.
