Okemos Community Church Food Bank   has been serving our community for over 25 years. We are a member of the Greater Lansing Food Bank. (Pantry b-O-00448-30) Client referrals come from the Ingham County Department of Social Services 517-887-4957 and also from Meridian Township Human Services.  As we have very limited facilities for fresh or frozen items, clients are also given a gift card, according to size, to shop at Meijers. It has been exciting to see youth involved in food drives from churches, schools and Scouting, As this past year as over half of the recipients of the OCC Food Bank are ages 0-17 years.  We are grateful for your support to meet the increasing need for food assistance in our own community. Our April Shopping List includes the following:  Mac & Cheese, Cream Soups, Salad Dressing (Ranch), Bagged Dry Beans, Jam & Jelly, Boxed Potatoes, Stuffing, Tuna, “hardy” Soups & Stew, and Peanut Butter. Please leave your non perishable food donations in the shopping cart outside the Okemos Community Church office or call the office (349-4220) to set up a drop off time.
