Food Pantry is Open
|
Serving those in need in our community.
Carol Hockin is our Pantry Coordinator. There is a lot more to this job than meets the eye, across several very busy days. Carol does excellent work on everything Pantry ... and even more. She is the heart and soul of ACTS.
ACTS Food Pantry is still open, but we have been forced to change our procedures. If possible, clients should call 231-267-3002 and give their food order. Then they drive up, stay in their car and get their order. We will take drive-ups, too.
Pantry volunteers have to do more and also continuously sanitize everything, so ACTS needs many more volunteers than normal. All volunteers wear masks, aprons and gloves. The health and safety of the staff and volunteers is a top priority. 
To qualify for food pantry assistance, a client family must meet Federal Poverty Guidelines as published annually. The guidelines can be found by searching the internet (CMCS/ CAHPG/ DEEO). Our Pantry uses 200% of the Federal poverty level as a qualifier.
Eligibility is based on the financial situation of ALL members in a household. Everyone who lives together and purchases and prepares food together is considered a member of the same household. Verification of income and information regarding housing arrangements and bridge card status are checked.

It is still true!
100% of your cash donations help us purchase food. We rely on you. Please send a check, made out to ACTS, to: ACTS Food Pantry 8925 M72 E Williamsburg, MI 49690. Because of the precautions necessary during the pandemic, please do not donate actual food. If you give some of your own food to [feed] those who are hungry and to satisfy [the needs of] those who are humble, then your light will rise in the dark, and your darkness will become as bright as the noonday sun. - Isaiah 58:10
