United Way of Washtenaw County supplemented recent food shortage efforts caused by the pandemic and inflation by releasing $16,000 to three local nonprofits

United Way of Washtenaw County is supplementing recent food shortage efforts caused by the pandemic and inflation by releasing $16,000 to three local nonprofits that worked around the clock to help families affected by recent challenges.

Food Gatherers has faced increased demand, inflation, and supply chain issues as it works to keep local food pantries full.  Community Action Network (CAN) and SOS community services reported high volumes and increased needs of local families as they struggle to maintain a stable food source for the families they serve.

If you are or know someone that needs help, have them call United Way’s 211 helpline to be connected to resources closer to where they live.  For a complete list of food pantries in the area visit https://www.foodgatherers.org/foodresources/
