Our food bank has grown…
from a small group of people believing in this mission to an organization that reaches thousands of people each year. We partner with 300+ agencies over eight Michigan counties to make sure that everyone has access to the nutrition they need to succeed. These agencies are organizations such as schools, churches, and other nonprofits that run distribution sites for pantries, Fresh Food Distributions, Backpack Programs, and other programs.
So, here’s our part in the movement to end hunger

Food Bank vs Food Pantry
Food Bank
Food banks source million pounds of food through purchases and donations. We store that food and distribute to partner food sites. We are 1 of 250 food banks across the nation — every county in the United States is covered by a food bank!
Food Pantry
Partner food sites, such as food pantries, Fresh Food Distributions, and soup kitchens, are places where schools and churches provide food acquired from a food bank directly to those who need it, face-to-face. We have over 300+ of these partners across our eight counties!
