Join Feeding America West Michigan for a Community Food Distribution Event in Dickinson and Marquette Counties This Thursday!

Food Pantry Events in Upper Michigan

Feeding America West Michigan is busy this Thursday, serving communities through its mobile food pantry. They will distribute food in Ishpeming, Norway, and Gwinn.

Here are the details for the locations and times:

• North Iron Church, Ishpeming
  Address: 910 Palms Avenue
  Time: 9 a.m. ET

• Norway Community Food Pantry
  Address: 130 O’Dill Drive
  Time: 2 p.m. CT

• Grace Lutheran Church, Gwinn
  Address: 558 W. M-35
  Time: 4 p.m. ET

To receive food assistance, attendees may be asked for their name, address, and household size. Usually, a maximum of six people can be in one vehicle. Please remain in your car, as these are drive-thru events.

The need for food assistance is significant. Recent statistics show that food insecurity affects over 10% of households in Michigan, with even higher rates in rural areas. Local food pantries play a crucial role in alleviating this challenge.

If you’re looking to volunteer, there are still opportunities available at North Iron Church through Yoopers United. You can find more information and sign up here.

By working together, communities can tackle food insecurity and ensure that everyone has access to the nourishment they need.
