This year for Hunger and Homelessness Awarenes Week, Journey of Faith is opening up a food drive for our homelessness and eldercare ministries, accepting both in-kind and cash donations. Each of these ministries works to ensure that guests have access to food, regardless of their situation. If people need food, we want to make sure they have it.

We're focusing on what we call 'camp ready' food: food that can be eaten with minimal/no cooking and has minimal storage requirements. This type of food is often very hard to find at food pantries, making it especially hard on people living in their cars or at camps to get adequate nutrition in a day.

Check out the list below for food ideas and/or the link to give money so that we’re able to buy this food in bulk. You can make a cash donation by clicking here.

Possible Camp Ready Food Donations

• Canned meat, like tuna, chicken, and Vienna sausages

• Shelf stable milk (individual serving sizes)

• Protein drinks

• Peanut butter (individual serving sizes)

• Granola bars/protein bars

• Fruit and veggie pouches

• Nuts (individual serving sizes)

• Pop-top canned veggies

• Noodle Cups

You can make food donations by dropping food off at Journey of Faith (1900 Manchester Road, Ann Arbor) Monday-Friday 10-4pm. If you drop off food outside of these hours, leave the food on the wheelchair ramp on the southwest side of the building. We check the ramp everyday.
