Food Bank of Eastern Michigan

IMG_2796IMG_2794“In 2012, 49 million people or 1 in 6 people lived in food insecure households.  Together, we can do something to provide relief to our neighbors in need.  We appreciate your willingness to keep hunger relief in your philanthropic giving and we will continue to be good stewards of your funds, stretching every dollar into 6 meals for a hungry family”.  21,092,901 pounds of food were distributed in 2012 throughout 22 Michigan counties.  These comments are taken from the 2012 Annual Report of the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan.

 

 

 

 

 

Through your pledges to our church’s program, the mission committee makes donations to the Food Bank.  In addition, our members have supported their Empty Bowls fund raiser in September as well as volunteering our hands to assist in sorting food for distribution.  On October 19, six volunteers from our church spent the morning sorting food.  The mission committee wants to thank our members for their numerous methods of supporting the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan and their vital ministry!
