The TEFAP is a federally funded program that allows us to provide emergency food to our community at no cost. TEFAP foods are distributed in every Michigan County and typically through community action agencies, food banks, pantries and other hunger relief organizations. As a recipient of TEFAP support, we distribute this food to our local pantry partners, who then make it available to individuals and families in need. Learn more about TEFAP here.

Are you looking for a way to help? Food drives are a great way to support local food banks and pantries, while also raising awareness about food insecurity. They also offer a wonderful opportunity to unite coworkers, students, and community members to make a difference. By organizing a food drive, you and others can collect canned goods and other items to make a meaningful impact.
