A huge thank you to our local Traverse City Elks Lodge #323 for putting together another wonderful Thanksgiving offering for members of the Coalition! The Elks were able to put together 100 Thanksgiving Meal Kits and 100 Basic Needs Bags for Teens that went out to our food insecure nieghbors! We're truly grateful to have this generous group in our community. 💝

This is an amazing film that features three members of the Coalition who have been working to address food insecurity in our region. Between the filming in 2023 and the documentary's premier this past month in 2024, The number of people visiting pantries in our region has increased by 40%.
We are expecting to see a continual increase in pantry users to in the upcoming years. With projected cuts to SNAP (a federal food benefit program) and USDA programs such as LFPA - which helps the Coalition purchase local foods for pantries and meal sites - we're going to be looking for more community support to help our neighbors who are struggling to keep food on their tables.
Please consider attending Empty Bowls 2025 and supporting the Coalition's Farm2Neighbor fund. Tickets coming soon on our website.
