Food Pantry

During the Covid Pandemic, the Pantry has been changing. We are working in partnership with Inner City Youth Group.  Please check the Covid page for the most recent updates.

Every Friday from 10:00 am to noon, the Food Pantry is open to serve residents of  zip codes 48207, 48211 or 48214. It provides groceries for up to 100 people each week. Fresh vegetables and fruits, meat, bread, canned goods and personal supplies are available. Most of the food comes from nearby Gleaners Food Bank where $1 can buy $10 worth of food. Donations of non-perishable food or cash are always welcome.

Volunteers are always needed.

Donations may be dropped off on the  second Saturday of month from 10:00 to 12:00.

Warm, large-sized clothing, especially for men, is always needed.
