I Got You - Big Mack Kindness Program

10/12/2022

The I got you pantry needs your help. We are looking for shelf stable microwave meals and easy snacks. Please see our Amazon wish list for pantry ideas. Keep in mind as much as we love pantry staples, the need of our school is more simple microwavable meals and snacks that are easy for kids to prepare.

The “I Got You Project” was started in honor of Marcus (“Big Mack”) McIntosh, a 20-year old Ypsilanti native who was killed in a car crash in 2014, and had been known in the community for helping others.

Starting Monday, October 4th we launch our 5th year of this amazing program. And we want to go viral!!! Most of our program takes place in a local elementary school! This year we are challenging them to complete 6,000 acts of kindness in the month of October! How will they do it??? Through acts of kindness in the school and community, by making cards/pictures for children in local hospitals, and by collecting donations for the food pantry! What to help these students reach this goal? Consider donating some non-perishable food items to the "I Got You" food pantry! Each item the pantry receives this month equals one act of kindness!!! The link to our amazon wish list is below, if you choose to donate, send us a note with your donation we would love to hear how this program inspires you!

Do you know how amazing the people in this world have the potential to be?? I do! And it is pretty darn amazing! Not even a week ago our Pantry was hurting for main meals to help feed local family and within two days of making that call food started coming in for our families! THANK YOU so much to those who send or dropped off items. We could not continue this effort without you!
