The EFPN warehouse was emptied of all food during our recent
renovation. We are now in great need to stock the warehouse. Our eight pantries use this donated food to help stock their shelves. We also use the warehouse donations for stocking the pantries at Windover High School and the Academic and Career Education Academy. We pack boxes for our partnership with Home to Stay from the warehouse items. As Home to Stay settles their clients into their new housing, they are provided a box of food to start them in their new home. EFPN is also experiencing an increase of people coming to our pantries. Please consider collecting food for the warehouse or for any of our pantries. Below is a listing of pantries and our warehouse. Monetary donations are also welcome. We buy food from the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan at reduced costs. We also use monetary donations to fund our BackPack Buddies Program and our Nutritional Supplement Program. For the 2019-2020 school year we have 819 children enrolled. This represents a 14% increase over the last school year. Every donation counts, no matter how large or small. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
Donations can be brought to any of our eight pantries or warehouse. Please call before delivering food & supplies to pantries to make sure someone is there to meet you.
