Help us feed those in need.
Many in our community experience food insecurity and are faced with difficult choices - whether to eat, or pay rent, or purchase medicine, or buy gas for their vehicle. In a 2010 Mid-Michigan Food Bank Report, states that the "average monthly household income among the kitchen clients was $480
(median: $570). Most of our guests live significantly below the poverty level making nutrition, housing, and transportation increasingly difficult. We help by providing nutritious meals on a regular schedule to our guests. We make it possible for them to stretch their limited budgets and ease some of their struggle to survive.
You are an important part of our mission. Through generous donations from caring individuals and groups in our community and beyond we are able to help meet the nutritional needs of our most vulnerable citizens. We welcome you time, your talents, and your money!
