Acme Christian Thrift Store & Food Pantry

​​Acme Christian Thrift Store & Food Pantry is a Michigan 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation that fills a critical need among the working poor, single mothers, transients and other disadvantaged people who live in Antrim, Grand Traverse and Kalkaska counties by providing thrift-store donated merchandise at reasonable prices and using the revenue to operate a fully functional and well-stocked food pantry.

Volunteers Needed !
ACTS needs your help now. Thrift store traffic is higher and there is more local need for food. We also need drivers. Please consider giving some time to this worthy cause. More info.

​“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?  When did we see you a stranger and invite you in or needing clothes and clothed you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ The king will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’”
