The Northwest Food Coalition is preparing for an increased demand for food assistance as SNAP (Food Assistance) benefits are expected to be delayed or disrupted due to the ongoing federal government shutdown. Any interruption will place significant strain on families and on food pantries and meal programs across Northwest Michigan. We anticipate even a short disruption will push more families into crisis. The Northwest Food Coalition and its partners are doing their best to increase food supply and monetary support to the pantries and meal sites in our region.
Your donation of any amount will be used entirely for the purchase of food by our member organization food pantries and meal sites for their clients.
Please press the Donate Now button below for your online Donation. Donations can also be sent to: Northwest Food Coalition, c/o NMCAA, 3963 Three Mile Rd. Traverse City, MI 49686. Please note “Immediate Needs Relief Fund” on the memo line.

Today, we pause to honor the courage, sacrifice, and service of our nation’s veterans. As we express our gratitude, we also recognize that too many who have served still face food insecurity.
At the Northwest Food Coalition, we want our veterans and service members to know: you are not alone. Our network stands ready to support every neighbor in need with kindness, compassion, and zero judgment.
This Veterans Day, let’s turn appreciation into action — by supporting local food banks, veteran assistance programs, and community drives that help ensure no veteran goes hungry.
Together, we can serve those who have served us. 🤝
