Every year, food pantries across Southwest Michigan are fully stocked in the winter months thanks to generous holiday donations—but when summer comes, donations drop dramatically and pantry shelves become sparse. This can leave low-income, hard-working families with limited options during this time of year.
United Way of Southwest Michigan asks local businesses and community members to participate in our “Summer Stock Up” event to stock local food pantries with items to get them through the warmer months. The collected items will be delivered to pantries all over Berrien, Cass and Van Buren Counties.
Volunteers will be counting, sorting and assembling the donated food to prepare it for delivery.
*Volunteers will meet in the gym at Lawrence Elementary School.
