ACTing with an abundance of caution, our protected volunteers shop for our pantry clients. This video is a peek behind the scenes. Want to help ACTS purchase food for people in need? Click on this link: https://www.acmechristian.org/blog/credit-cards In Jan-Mar 2020, our fantastic ACTS volunteers provided 1,818 bags of groceries, 36,360 lbs of food worth about $63,630, an 18% increase over the same three months of 2019. Because these are tumultuous times, ACTS likely faces increased need in the future. 
As President of ACTS, I am so grateful for all the volunteers who make this organization so special. Service above Self, a Rotary International motto, fits so well here. In fact, the COVID-19 dilemma has taken this service up a level, as ACTS Volunteers risk their health to provide clients with much needed food. You are all very much loved by me and by the ACTS Board of Directors!! Thank You & God Bless, Gary Happy Volunteer Week! April 19-25
Thank you, all!  Carol Hockin Food Pantry Coordinator   Yesterday, a portion of those donated apples and other food were delivered by Food Rescue of Northwest Michigan. ACTS is working hard to stay open during these extraordinary times. Behold our intrepid ACTS volunteers!  We take Credit Cards over the phone!
During these troubled times, here's how you can give ACTS a much-appreciated cash donation using your credit card: Times to Call Tuesday thru Friday, 9:30 am - 5 pm Saturday, 8:30 am - 4 pm Here's How * Before you call us, have your credit card info handy. * Call Carol Hockin at (231) 267-3002. Tell her your credit card info and donation amount. That's it - quick & easy! If your call goes to voicemail, please leave your name and number. Carol will call you back. Do not leave your credit card info on voicemail. If you prefer, you can instead still send a check, made out to ACTS, to: ACTS Food Pantry 8925 M72 E Williamsburg, MI 49690
Our Food Pantry volunteers are deftly handling the myriad of changes to guidelines and procedures during these troubling times, in spite of a complete lack of revenue from our Thrift Store. Now we can no longer order food supplies. We take whatever the grocer has to give, so every open-pantry day has different goods available. Typically, we take call-in reservations from clients and offer curbside pick up, while constantly sanitizing everything.
Hope you can continue to give shout outs to Pantry Coordinator Carol Hockin and our intrepid volunteers, who provide food for people in need. Your encouraging words mean a lot. And sending a check (address below) to tide us over would help, too. Now that our Thrift Store is closed until further notice, we generate no revenue. So we are dependent on your generosity to get us through these hard times. How can you help? -> Send a check, made out to ACTS, to: ACTS Food Pantry 8925 M72 E Williamsburg, MI 49690.
ACTS is NOT accepting ANY donations ,other than food, until further notice.
Please respect this policy change and DO NOT leave items behind the store or bring them into the building. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Bring food donations directly to the food pantry. Lucy Howard- Thrift Store Manager (231) 938-2990 Carol Hockin- Food Pantry Coordiator (231 267-3002 |
