Feeding America West Michigan Looking for Matching Donations to Expand Benton Harbor Distribution Facility

From the Feeding America West Michigan web site:

We’ve just been promised the support of the Frederick S. Upton Foundation for our efforts to expand the capacity of our new Benton Harbor warehouse – but only if you step up, too!

To provide families in need in Berrien, Cass, and Van Buren Counties with the 10 million pounds of supplemental food they need each year, we’ve got to equip the building with a REALLY BIG cooler/freezer and lots of shelving (racking, really) designed to hold full pallets of food.

Help us meet the Foundation’s challenge to raise $20,000 and they’ll send us a matching $20,000 – enabling us to increase the flow of food to the southwest Michigan families who need it most.
