Food Pantry

We serve clients in the greater Wyoming area, Grandville, and Jenison. Over the course of a year, our pantry feeds 14,000 people. Our 40 volunteers donate 1,400 hours of their time to serve 1000 people per month. We distribute a million pounds of food a year to those in need. The food that we provide is food that we would put on our own table–not food we would cast aside. We offer fresh produce, eggs, dairy, bread, and meat. With one trip, we provide a shopping cart of food to an individual/family in need.

Our pantry also caters to those with chronic illness, food allergies, and other dietary needs, such as:

• Gluten Free
