[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]The Food Bank of Eastern Michigan helps provide food to the hungry in 22 counties in the eastern half of Michigan.  Over 19% of the people in eastern Michigan are food insecure.  There are 400 partner agencies in these 22 counties that work daily to distribute this food.  98% of the money raised goes toward services.

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 them in sorting food for distribution.

On November 12, fourteen volunteers from our church spent the morning sorting food for distribution to the partner agencies.  Our volunteers working with another group of volunteers sorted 25,000 pounds of food!

The Mission committee wants to thank our members for their numerous methods of supporting the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”40952″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”40962″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid element_width=”6″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1484420347927-ee32a3fe-6e74-4″ include=”44813,44814″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
