Midland County Food Assistance Network – "Always Food in Every Home"

New Name MCFAN

We have a new name!

Have you heard? We’ve got a new name!
EFPN is now the Midland County Food Assistance Network (MCFAN).
Why the name change?
The new name better reflects the work that we do which goes beyond emergency food needs.

No need to worry though- our programs and pantries aren’t changing- we will continue to work to ensure that there is ‘always food in every home.’

Meijer Simply Give

Between Sunday, September 29 and Saturday, December 28, 2024 stop by Meijer and purchase a $10.00 Simply Give gift card located near the checkout lanes. Meijer will contribute additional funds to our organization. The Midland County Food Assistance Network will use the money to buy items that are not donated or available from the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan.

Double Match Day: Saturday December 14. For every $10.00 donation, Meijer will give an additional $20.00. Your $10.00 donation becomes $30.00 for EFPN.
