Feeding America West Michigan serves more than 800 food pantries and other agencies in 40 counties across Michigan. Typically, the organization distributes 2 million pounds of food per month.

CEO Ken Estelle told WOOD TV8 that the demand for food has increased so drastically since the coronavirus outbreak that Feeding America moved 200,000 pounds of food in just two days.

The best way West Michiganders can help by providing funding so Feeding America’s work can continue. The $10 for 40 campaign will make sure that people get the help they need.
