In 2019 the Northwest Food Coalition celebrated its 25th Anniversary. It began in 1994, organized by the Hunger Action Coalition of Detroit that reached out to seven groups around the state to assess hunger and poverty in rural Michigan. Today, we are a grassroots coalition of roughly 70 food pantries, emergency meal sites and baby pantries in a six county region: Antrim, Benzie, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, Leelanau and Wexford. We are the last remaining food coalition in Michigan. Our mission is to empower member food programs by coordinating and creating resources to achieve regional food security
