Macomb Food Program
 |
The mission of the Macomb Food Program is to provide food to hungry people in Macomb County. To support this mission, the
role of the Macomb Food Program is to develop and supply leadership in the areas of hunger awareness, advocacy and generating financial support. The Macomb Food Program is always in need of monetary and food donations. For more information, please see below.
Food Pantries
Currently, 55 neighborhood food pantries provide emergency food service in Macomb County. Food packages are prepared according to the needs of the family or individual. Contents of the packages vary because most of the food is donated. The average food package will last between five and seven days.
If You Need Food
The criteria to access the Macomb Food Program requires only that a person be a Macomb County resident and have an emergency need for food. The person in need of emergency food must call United Way information/referral 2-1-1 (or 1-800-552-1183).
The annual National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) Food Drive is coming to mailboxes on Saturday, May 11, 2013!
In Macomb County (and throughout the country) postal workers will collect non-perishable food items placed by mailboxes on Saturday, May 11, 2013. Much of the food collected in Macomb County is distributed to people in need through the Macomb Food Program’s 55 pantry distribution sites.
The food drive is a critical event for the Macomb Food Program. Food items collected during this event provide emergency food supplies for thousands of hungry families and individuals. The Macomb Food Program encourages the community to support the letter carriers in their drive to help feed the hungry by leaving non-perishable food items in a bag near their mailboxes for carriers to pick up on collection day.
