Food Bank Council of Michigan Members
A Network of Regional Food Banks
The Food Bank Council of Michigan (FBCM) is made up of member regional food banks. The regional food banks, along with their subsidiary distribution organizations and branch warehouses, safely store and provide millions of pounds of surplus vegetables, fruits and other grocery items to more than 2500 local agencies serving each of the 83 counties in Michigan. These products are made available to the agencies at a low cost (about 10 cents per pound for goods with an average retail of about $2.00 per pound). Types of agencies include: food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, hospices, domestic violence shelters, head start programs, after school programs, half-way houses and group homes for the mentally ill.
To find out which food bank serves a county, select from the list below.
The regional food banks service different geographic territories. These service territories are in place to ensure that each of Michigan's 83 counties are served and to diminish duplication of services. Many of these regions contain subsidiary distribution organizations, branch warehouses or delivery sites to clusters of agencies in order to bring the product closer to the agencies. For more information, contact the food bank directly or visit their website.
