Food Pantry

Serving those in need in our community.
Our pantry provides food for people in need in our three-county area. Thrift store proceeds, individual donors, and local grants support this important ministry.  ACTS provides food and other necessary items to all qualified persons.  If you or anyone you know needs help stretching a grocery budget, please contact Carol at (231) 267-3002.

Carol Hockin is our Director of Operations. 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.
​Clients should call 231-267-3002 to make an appointment to come to our Food Pantry. We now allow one client at a time to shop in person in our pantry. Clients must wait outside or in their cars until they are called to come in.
​
Pantry volunteers still must do a lot,  so ACTS needs  more volunteers than normal. 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.

 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
