Over 15% of Midland County residents are food insecure and live in poverty. This percentage continues to climb, and we don’t see an end to the need in the near future. A great many more teeter at the threshold, putting them at risk of being pushed over by a high energy bill, higher than normal prices for food, a medical emergency, a car repair or whatever may come their way. When the teetering turns into a freefall, meals start disappearing.
Midland County residents may make an appointment to come to our pantry and receive groceries. Our food pantry is held weekly, on Thursdays beginning at 10:45am ending at 2:30pm. We also have Thursday evening pantry hours, times will vary.
