Feeding America West Michigan: How to Get Food
Feeding America West Michigan says in its own words that you do not have to prove your income to get food. It is a regional food bank, so it supplies pantries rather than handing out groceries itself: below is how to find the one near you.

How do I actually get food from Feeding America West Michigan?
The food bank supplies over 800 partner pantries and meal programs. Use the map at FeedWM.org/FindFood to find pantries and meal programs, upcoming Mobile Food Pantries and summer Gather 2 Grow sites near you, then contact that agency directly, because locations, times and methods of distribution change. Someone else can collect for you: most Mobile Pantry sites allow proxy pick-ups, though some limit each car to three households, and you must give the other person's name, address and household size.
When is Feeding America West Michigan open?
Hours are set by each pantry, not by Feeding America West Michigan, and they change. We deliberately do not copy hours from other sites: check the locator on feedwm.org.
Does Feeding America West Michigan cost anything?
Free. Mobile Food Pantries provide supplemental groceries to anyone in need at no charge.
What do I need to bring?
Not stated on the Feeding America West Michigan page we read. Bring an ID and something with your address if you have them, and bags or a box for the food — but do not stay home for lack of paperwork; most pantries take you anyway.
