Summer Stock Up
Every year, food pantries across the Battle Creek and Kalamazoo Region are stocked in the winter months thanks to generous donations. But when summer comes, donations drop dramatically and pantry shelves become sparse. With the additional demand of having kids at home to feed, this can leave ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) families with limited options during this time of year.
United Way of the Battle Creek and Kalamazoo Region asks local businesses and community members to participate in our Summer Stock Up event to support local pantries and other food-insecurity initiatives throughout the warmer months. Best of all, we’ll do the shopping for you! We’ll make sure that families in our community have access to nutritious food all summer long.
