Mobile food pantry Wednesday in Kingsford

IRON MOUNTAIN — Feeding America West Michigan will bring a mobile food pantry to Kingsford on Wednesday.

This is a drive-thru food distribution at Redemption Hill Church, 332 S. Carpenter Ave. in Kingsford. Distribution starts promptly at 10 a.m., with registration beginning no later than 9 a.m. Registration takes place at customer vehicles.

Customers should be prepared for a lengthy wait time.

Free food is available to all households experiencing food insecurity.

A household is eligible for the supplemental food provided by the mobile food pantry if it already receives food assistance such as SNAP, WIC or SSI; meets federal income guidelines; or is simply in need of emergency food.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture in its February updates announced it had adjusted the income ceiling for supplemental food programs to 300% of the Federal Poverty Line, meaning that even more families and individuals will qualify to receive free groceries.

Volunteers working registration will be available to answer eligibility questions that customers may have. As was done with previous mobile food pantries, no proof of eligibility will be required.

The USDA and FAWM require for each household a full name, information about household size and make-up — the number of children, seniors and veterans that reside in the household — and eligibility.

Restrooms are available inside the church.

For more information on the mobile food pantry or to volunteer, contact The Mac’s Creek Foundation at 906-822-7750 or themacscreekfoundation@gmail.com.

Participants should not direct questions to Redemption Hill Church.

Feeding America West Michigan is an equal opportunity provider.

Starting at $3.50/week.
