Mission in Action: Emergency Food Pantry
The Salvation Army’s Emergency Food Pantry Program is available to anyone living in the Grand Rapids area who needs immediate food resources. This county-wide Food Pantry is open every weekday with varying hours.
Consumers who come to the Emergency Food Pantry are provided with information about food security and healthy eating and assisted in developing a plan to ensure greater food stability in their future. They are also provided with linkages to other community resources.
An on-site computer lab provides consumers with access to applications and information about potential government benefit programs for which they may be eligible. These include SNAP (food stamps) benefits, state emergency relief, cash assistance, home heating tax credit, and more.
Last year alone, The Salvation Army provided nearly 5600 households with emergency food assistance, helping to lessen the effects of family food insecurity.
