In celebration of Chick-fil-A’s newest restaurant opening this October, the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan was awarded a generous $25,000 donation through Feeding America.

The new Ga***rd location adds to Chick-fil-A’s growing presence across the country and is owned and operated by Tyler Lowe, who is bringing the brand’s signature hospitality to Northern Michigan.

Our Vice President of Food Sourcing and Logistics, Terry Nix, had the honor of receiving the $25,000 check on behalf of the Food Bank.

We are incredibly grateful for the continued partnership between Chick-fil-A and Feeding America. This generous donation will help the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan provide up to 150,000 meals to our neighbors facing hunger.

Thank you, Chick-fil-A, for helping us make a meaningful difference in communities across eastern Michigan! 🐄

Nourishing Our Neighbors, One Meal at a Time!

The Food Bank of Eastern Michigan believes everyone deserves access to nutritious food and the opportunity to share a meal with the people they love. Thanks to community partners like Melvin Methodist Church, we’re bringing that mission to life!

At a recent distribution, a grant helped Pastor Julie provide families with freshly prepared chicken casserole meals, along with bags of ingredients and easy-to-follow recipes so they could recreate the meal at home. This thoughtful approach offered not only immediate nourishment but also the opportunity for families to prepare a comforting meal on their own.

Recipients expressed their gratitude, with several moved to tears by the kindness and thoughtfulness behind the meals. One person shared how excited they were to try the recipe because it was simple enough to make at home!

The distribution was filled with smiles, happy tears, and heartfelt gratitude. It was a beautiful reminder that fighting hunger takes all of us. When communities come together, we provide more than food — we offer hope, dignity, and the reminder that no one has to face hunger alone.

A heartfelt thank-you to Pastor Julie and everyone at Melvin Methodist Church for making a difference in the lives of our neighbors! 🧡
