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.’
