The mission of the Northwest Food Coalition is to empower member food programs by coordinating and creating resources to achieve regional food security.
We are a roughly 70 member coalition of food pantries, emergency meal sites and baby pantries in a six county area of northwest Michigan.
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.
The food coalition leadership team is the called the Operating Committee. Each year, members are appointed for one-year terms by the membership. The Operating Committee works to find new resources for the coalition through grants, community outreach and policy work.
