Kalamazoo Loaves & Fishes

Agency meal support program: food is provided to partner agencies who provide hot, prepared meals and/or pantry service to their clients.

Mobile food initiative (mfi): supplemental grocery assistance is provided throughout communitywide locations each month to thousands of recipients each year.

All other accomplishments: commodity supplemental food program (csfp): senior citizens receive supplemental groceries each month. Food is directly distributed to local housing developments, social service organizations, and community centers. Targeted outreach: this program is designed to support individuals who are unable to secure food assistance from us in traditional ways for a variety of reasons. Food product and delivery methods are specific to the population we are trying to support (e.g. Homeless encampments) and may be offered in partnership with another organization in the community (e.g. Emergency packs for kalamazoo department of public safety officers to distribute). Weekend food pack program: child-friendly food packs are provided to students at different public schools in order to help bridge the weekend food gap.
