Feeding America West Michigan

The Feeding America West Michigan mobile food pantry program brings fresh groceries directly into communities with a high need for food support. A Mobile Food Pantry is essentially a farmers market on wheels, so it’s an effective avenue for distributing fresh, perishable food to those who need it.
