And even though the battle against Covid-19 in Mid-Michigan is far from over, we're not only dealing with the virus. We're still dealing with the lingering social and economic aftereffects. Lost jobs and hungry families.

Thankfully, there are lots of organizations stepping up to help make sure kids and families don't go hungry. And keep them safe while providing them the food they need.

The City of Lansing Human Relations and Community Services Department and the Greater Lansing Food Bank announces the Mobile Food Pantry! The Mobile Food Pantry will be distributing free, fresh and non-perishable food items to Lansing residents.
If you or someone you know must choose between buying food and filing prescriptions or paying bills, please tell them about this important program. (lansingmi.gov)
