Combat Hunger and Support Our Upper Peninsula Community
The Feeding Friends Fund serves the Western Upper Michigan Peninsula with its Farm to Pantry Program, coordinating food distribution from farmers to those who need it in Houghton, Keweenaw, Baraga, and Ontonagon counties.
Coordinating Food Distribution
Streamlining logistics to efficiently deliver essential supplies and nourishment to families in need throughout the entire Upper Peninsula through a network of farmers, food pantries and a grassroots volunteer team.
Bridging the Gap Between poverty and nutrition
The Upper Peninsula faces an above average poverty rate of 13.9%. With our farm partnerships bridge the gap between nutritious whole foods that might have previously been inaccessible to many area families.
Leadership
We couldn’t combat hunger without these dedicated individuals.
