I deliver Senior boxes for Davison United Methodist Church. The Food Bank employee that works the dock is exceptional. She is so professional and kind and she gets me on my way quickly. She is absolutely top notch and a pleasure to deal with. Ty!!!

OMG. We went to the Empty Bowls fundraiser. This is very well organized, great tasting soups, friendly staff and volunteers. I would highly recommend this to everyone who wants to support the food bank. Oh and I must not forget the beautiful pottery bowls you get to take home. A must do. I will definitely be there next year.

This is a beautiful faculty. Had a wonderful opportunity for The Leadership Group LLC to partner with the Shelter of Flint for a retreat. Nice accommodations and lunch was delicious.

This 501 c 3 nonprofit organization does so much good in the communities that they serve. It was an honor and a privilege to go sort items and pack food for a day! It gave me a new appreciation for all this organization does. I hope they are able to serve hungry and people in need for many more years. Great work!

The food bank of Eastern Michigan does a wonderful thing for people in need of food . I had the privilege to do community service with them and I was amazed at the amount of food they handled. This program is a blessing to those in need. They do great work there for the people who are lacking food in their house and have extra mouths to feed. Thank you for your work in the community. God bless 🙏

it is a shame that over half of all fruits and vegetables are spoiled and can not be used....why do you send this product out to the homeless and elderly to eat..don't get me wrong we greatly appreciate the food bank, but quailty control needs work!

I drove a group of students from the Flint Culture Center Academy to go pack food boxes. The students got to do hands on work and everything was explained to them how the Food Bank works. So many people have been helped out because of this organization. Thank you for what you do!
