Feeding America of West Michigan
Feeding America of West Michigan is an organization that's fighting food insecurity throughout 40 of Michigan's 83 counties, from the Indiana border north up through the western half of the state, plus the entire Upper Peninsula. They distribute millions of pounds of food each year through their network of more than 900 agency and mobile food pantries, including Family Network of Wyoming. In 2019, Feeding America West Michigan distributed 25.3 million pounds of food – equivalent to 20 million meals.
Feeding America also keeps millions of pounds of food each year out of landfills. As much as 40% of the food produced in the United States goes to waste every year. At the same time, millions of people in our country are struggling with hunger. Every wasted meal in a landfill is one that could have gone to a family in need. If we could cut the amount of wasted food by 15%, we could feed 25 million more Americans every year. Food goes to waste at every stage in food system from farming to processing to retail to our own homes. Feeding America of West Michigan is dedicated to both hunger alleviation and eliminating food waste.
Feeding America of West Michigan, working with local farms, grocery stores and food banks, works to re-route much of that otherwise-lost food into the hands and mouths of those households that need it. We're proud to support their work in 2021, and for every dollar you spend with us, you're supporting their work as well.
