Gleaners Community Food Bank:

Gleaners is hosting free food distributions in your area. Anyone in need of food can attend–no appointment is necessary. **Reminder: While they do their best to keep the mobile food distributions up and running, weather delays and cancellations may occur. Before heading out to a distribution, please check their social media channels and Pantrynet website for distribution information https://pantrynet.org/mobile-distribution-events.

Out of an abundance of caution for the safety of their guests, volunteers and their Community Mobiles are drive-thru only.

1. Each household will receive 30 pounds of groceries - Items like milk, produce, lean protein and other shelf-stable foods are typically provided.
2. Drive-up or walk-up - Stay in your vehicle, and groceries will be placed into your trunk. Walk-up guests or those without a trunk will be provided food from a self-service table.
3. No appointment needed - You do not need to bring proof of eligibility to receive food.

If you are in urgent need of food, please call 2-1-1, and an operator will connect you to emergency food assistance in your area. If you are unable to reach Michigan 2-1-1 by dialing directly, call the statewide toll-free number: 1-844-875-9211
