ABOUT FBCM |
||||||||||
About the Food Bank Council of MichiganThe Food Bank Council of Michigan (FBCM) is a statewide organization that is committed to the alleviation of hunger in our state and in our nation. The FBCM gathers food and funds to help stock Michigan's food banks. The food is then distributed throughout the state-wide food banking network. Millions of pounds of this food is surplus vegetables, fruits and other grocery items which, for one reason or another, cannot be sold. MissionThe Food Bank Council of Michigan provides statewide leadership to food banks in their efforts to alleviate hunger through the distribution of surplus food to those in need. VisionStrengthened by strategic alliances and resources, the Food Bank Council of Michigan will provide leadership and optimize systems for distributing food. Our WorkThe Food Bank Council of Michigan gathers food and funds to help stock Michigan's member food banks which serve people in all 83 counties of the state. The FBCM and its food bank members help ensure there is a unified system in place to serve the pantries, kitchens and shelters who are the front line in feeding and nourishing individuals on a daily basis. The FBCM also provides a central, single voice to the issue of hunger. We educate and advocate about the need for food and food security for everyone. Food security is defined by the United States Department of Agriculture as: access by all people at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life. Food security, at a miniumum: is the ready availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods; is an assured ability to acquire acceptable foods in socially acceptable ways.
