Every meal, every can, and every dollar helps feed local families through programs like the Summer Food Service Program, Fuel for Kids, our Emergency Food Pantry, and more. 🍪🥫

“If you have more than you need, build a bigger table – not a higher fence.” ~ Anonymous

Many of our neighbors are facing impossible choices right now — whether to pay their electric bill to heat their homes or buy groceries to feed their families.

Food pantries throughout Ottawa County are reporting record numbers at distributions.

If you have a little extra, help us build a bigger table here in Ottawa County by donating to your local food pantries.

While food donations are always appreciated, cash contributions can make an even greater impact. With monetary donations, pantries can:

🥕Purchase the exact items most needed, including fresh produce, dairy, and proteins

💰Buy in bulk at discounted prices, stretching every dollar further

🧀Quickly respond to urgent needs when supplies run low

Every contribution—big or small—helps ensure no neighbor goes hungry. Use the information below to donate in your town or area. Together, we can make sure everyone in Ottawa County has a seat at the table. ❤️

Take care.
