Our History

Beginnings
This event was originally organized by the Grand Ledge Jaycees. The Grand Ledge Shopping Tour Committee formed when the Jaycees liquidated. In 1987 a group of dedicated Grand Ledge residents picked up where the Jaycees left off, the Grand Ledge Shopping Tour Committee was formed. Several of original committee members continue to be active in the Grand Ledge Shopping Tour.

The Children

The Shopping Tour helps over 120 children every year. Grand Ledge District Elementary aged children grades k-4th are taken shopping for school clothing. The children also receive school supplies. This is made possible through the generosity of the Grand Ledge Community.
