WHAT WE DO
Our Mission:
We are a faith-based non-profit organization located in Hamtramck that serves as a compassionate ministry, strengthening families through community connections and offering help with basic human needs to residents, such as food and clothing, and providing assistance in gaining the tools necessary to achieve self-sufficiency.
BUILDING FOOD SECURE COMMUNITIES
Our Pantry policies and best practices address the barriers that keep families food insecure. While meeting the unique needs of our community.
As the only food pantry in the greater metro Detroit area using the nationally known SWAP food-ranking system, we teach clients how to choose healthy foods. We collaborate with EMU REACH, a CDC-funded program, to educate clients about the link between poor nutrition and chronic disease and provide nutrition education programs such as Cooking Matters and Healthy recipes in our nutrition corner.
Together With EMU REACH and SOPHE ..(Society for Public Health Education), we implemented policies, systems, and environmental changes that prioritize trauma-informed and resilience-focused principles.
We are one of two pantries in Metro Detroit to receive the NPP Gold badge for our trauma-informed approach at the food pantry in 2023.
The NPP program is apart of Gleaners Community Food Banks many enriching programs that guides food pantries to address seven key areas that contribute to the cycle of food insecurity.
