"Feeding America West Michigan: Filling Thanksgiving Shelves with Hope"

First Mobile Food Pantry Event in Escanaba

The first mobile food pantry event takes place at the Salvation Army located at 3001 5th Avenue S. in Escanaba. Food distribution begins at 10 a.m. Eastern time. This event is a crucial opportunity for families in the Escanaba area to receive much-needed food supplies. Volunteers and staff are on hand to ensure a smooth and efficient distribution process. The Salvation Army has always been a pillar of support in the community, and this event further showcases their commitment to helping those in need.

Those picking up food for families unable to attend should be prepared to provide essential information such as the name, address, and household size. This helps ensure that the food is distributed accurately and reaches the families that truly need it. The drive-thru format of this pantry makes it convenient for attendees to receive their food without leaving the comfort of their vehicles.

Second Mobile Food Pantry Event in Marquette

The second mobile food pantry event is held at the Berry Events Center on the campus of Northern Michigan University in Marquette. Food distribution starts at noon Eastern time. This location provides accessibility for families in the Marquette area and surrounding regions. The university campus offers a spacious and organized setting for the food distribution, allowing for a large number of families to be served efficiently.

Similar to the Escanaba event, attendees in Marquette are asked to stay in their vehicles and provide the necessary information. The presence of Northern Michigan University adds an additional layer of community support to this initiative. It shows that local institutions are coming together to make a difference during the Thanksgiving season.
