Food Pantries

When money is tight, local food pantries can help stretch your groceries and make sure you have something on the table.
 
Below you’ll find a list of food pantries in the communities we serve.
 
Mid Michigan Community Action operates only the Clare County Food Pantry. All other pantries on this page are run by partner organizations. Their hours, guidelines, and availability may change, and we may not be notified right away.

How to Use This List

  1. Find your county.
  2. Look at the pantries listed under that county.
  3. Call the pantry directly to ask about hours, what to bring, and any other questions.
  4. Availability depends on each pantry’s own hours and schedule.
