Grand Rapids, MI – The Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) West Michigan looks forward to their fifth year participating in the Ada Chili and Beer Festival!

RMHC West Michigan has been one of two charity recipients of this event since 2018.  Over 4500 people attend this family friendly event making it a great opportunity to socialize, enjoy great food and drinks, and support two worthy nonprofits: The Community Church in Ada and Ronald McDonald House Charities West Michigan. Events like this allow the Ronald McDonald House to provide a safe, comfortable, and free place for families to stay while their children receive life-changing medical care in Grand Rapids.  From offering a warm bed to a warm meal, RMHC ensures that families have the amenities they need while they are away from home so they can focus on what’s most important – the health of their child. Support for the local community is what makes everything possible.

Ada Chili and Beer Festival will take place on Saturday, December 3, 2022 from 11-3pm in downtown Ada on the grounds of The Community Church. Tickets are not required to attend but can be purchased to do food and drink tastes. Tickets can be purchased at the door!

Proceeds from the event support The Community Church and Ronald McDonald House Charities West Michigan
