FBCM and their member food banks are committed to ending hunger for Michigan residents. Visit http://www.fbcmich.org to join the fight.
The mission of Food Bank Council of Michigan is to end hunger in Michigan through united advocacy and unified action in partnership with state officials, private companies, individual citizens and our member food banks. We envision a future where everyone in Michigan has enough safe, nutritious food for a healthy and productive life.
FBCM is made up of member regional food banks. The regional food banks, along with their subsidiary distribution organizations and branch warehouses, safely store and provide millions of pounds of surplus vegetables, fruits and other grocery items to more than 2500 local agencies serving each of the 83 counties in Michigan. These products are made available to the agencies at a low cost (about 10 cents per pound for goods with an average retail of about $2.00 per pound).
Types of agencies include: food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, hospices, domestic violence shelters, head start programs, after school programs, half-way houses and group homes for the mentally ill.
