We walked in memory of Levi Markus TenHarmsel, son of our employee Mark TenHarmsel and his wife, Roberta TenHarmsel. We had so much support and lots of fun, while helping a great cause.

On Friday, March 30th, Kerkstra Precast hosted their first blood drive. Michigan Blood, a local, nonprofit blood bank, brought their “Blood Bus” to KP.
