"There is a dynamic group of interns at SOS that come from different schools. It’s interesting because we all bring something different. However, we all have the same goal—to make a difference!"
Tiffany Smith, Intern from Washtenaw Community College
Food Pantry
The food pantry helps people facing hardships stretch their limited budgets. The program makes sure that parents do not have to choose between feeding their children and keeping them housed.
Every Tuesday, emergency food is distributed at the Housing Crisis Center between 10 am - 6:30 pm. The food pantry provides a day’s allotment of food (three meals) for each person within the household. This service is offered to each consumer up to four times per year, plus one holiday. Families can also access other local food pantries in Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor.
The SOS food pantry distributes rescued food from Food Gatherers as well as donations from the community. Families served by the food pantry can also receive personal care and baby items depending on availability.
The food pantry, personal care items and baby supplies are supported by in-kind and monetary donations from local businesses, churches and schools throughout the year.
Special thanks to Food Gatherers for supporting the food pantry!
