What else do we do? Mass feedings involve a truckload of food being brought to a locality, the contents of which will be distributed to the needy residents of the locality. Various groups and organizations sponsor the trucks. This enables those in need to pick upi food without traveling a long distance. The cost of a mass feeding is $600. Where are we? The Project Hope food bank is located in the basement of the old Denton Township Hall in Prudenville, MI. For information or directions, call 989-366-5120. When are we open?

How Can I Help? There are many ways to help. You can collect nonperishable food and paper products such as toilet paper, to donate to the food bank. You or your group can sponsor a senior citizen. Many of our seniors are in dire straights. By sponsoring a senior, you ensure that they receive an additional box of food, each month for 12 months. This costs $200 per senior sponsored. You can donate money to Project Hope. Project Hope is a 501c3 organization so that donations are tax free. Currently, 85% of every dollar donated is used to buy food. To donate food and other items, bring them to Project Hope during open hours. To sponsor a senior, contact the director, Pam Stephan at 989-366-9596. She will explain the procedure. To make a donation, send checks to: Project Hope, Inc. |
