South Michigan Food Bank

Over 200 volunteers across the Farm Bureau family of companies banded together to come to the aid of Michigan families experiencing food insecurity. In addition to an organization-wide food drive, the family of companies partnered with food banks across the state to help sort and distribute 64,503 lbs of food. These efforts were tallied to aid nearly 54,000 families in need.

The celebration of the volunteer week follows the Michigan Farm Bureau family of companies introducing its For-Purpose model in May and precedes additional efforts aimed to help fight childhood hunger in its home state. With an entrenched focus on agriculture and connection to farming efforts statewide, the family of companies is uniquely positioned to collaborate with food providers and food banks across the state to help fight food insecurity. The organization’s For-Purpose statement reads, “Our purpose is to provide for our members, protect our customers, and together end childhood hunger in Michigan.”

Angela was proud to volunteer and her group at the South Michigan Food Bank was able to feed 802 families. Together we truly are working toward ending hunger in Michigan.
