We take your information and then schedule you for our next available pickup day. Groceries are given by appointment only. Our service days are Monday and Wednesday of each week. All you need to do is call the pantry office to set up your appointment. We just ask a few questions so we can cater to your specific needs.
Who is helped by our food pantry?
Food insecurity is a big issue in our community and your food pantry donations really help! We are now serving people who live in the following zip codes; 48420, 48458, 48457, 48463,48415. We serve an average of 40 households per month. We have emergency food boxes prepared to share with those with an immediate need. We request that guest show identification when they pick up food.
Where does the food come from?
With great appreciation to our church members, friends and greater community who provide cash donations, we are able to purchase food from the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan (FBEM) and local grocery stores to stock our pantry shelves and refrigerators. Bethany pantry is supported monthly with food and product donations from West Vienna Methodist Church of Clio. Through FBEM we have a partnership with local Dollar General stores that provide weekly donations of food and other items. We also received food donations from Scouting Troop 102. Many thanks to ALL who make the Bethany Food Pantry possible for our community through food and money donations.
How Can I Donate Food?
We are so grateful for all of your food donations, however, please DO NOT leave your food items outside. We have to throw it away because animals and heat get to it and make it unsafe to share. There is a box inside the office wing door for your donations and you may drop off your items any time the office is open (M-Th 9am to 2pm) or on Sunday when the church is open.
This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
