Dear Friend,
While reports say that inflation has eased, a trip through the supermarket for every day items is still an expensive proposition. Higher prices have led even more families to seek support from local food pantries this year. And those pantries struggle to meet both the increased need and costs.
In the last year, the number of households served by Macomb County pantries has increased to 148,388-another 15% since the previous year. A 40% increase since 2021!
Once again, we ask for your support with the pledge that every dollar raised in our annual holiday appeal will be used exclusively to purchase food and only for distribution to Macomb County pantries though the Community Food Bank of Macomb County.
The Macomb Food Program is a 501c3 non-profit organization created over 40 years ago to feed the hungry in Macomb County by supporting the Macomb County Food Bank/Warehouse which provides food to over 50 pantries throughout Macomb County.
Your donations will stay in Macomb County. On behalf of your Macomb County neighbors in need, we thank you for your generosity.
