TAKE TWO

Take Two hygiene pantry at Seymour Church helps those in need take care of their personal and family hygiene through generosity and dignity.

What do we do?

Currently we run a hygiene pantry for the Greater Grand Rapids area. We also provide emergency period packs to Alger Middle School, Ottawa Hills High School, Grand Rapids Christian High School, and South Christian High School.

Our pantry is open on the third Tuesday of each month from 4-6pm.

What’s the meaning behind our name?

“Take Two” is a play on words that is intended to express our governing values of generosity and dignity

Generosity Rather than taking a single item, we encourage our guests to take two. 
Dignity We all need a second chance. Take Two hopes to provide an opportunity for anyone, regardless of circumstances, to have a “second take.”
