FOOD
FROM
THE
SOUL
Our Vision: All residents in our 5-County Region (Benzie, Leelanau, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, & Antrim) will have access to freshly-made & nutritious food on a routine schedule.
Our Core Values
Sustainability: We focus on sourcing fresh ingredients from regional farms that are flavorful and nutritionally-dense, supporting local economy.
Service: We devote ourselves to serving others through food with good intention.
Compassion: We empathize with all people, regardless of race, gender, disability, or any other protected status.
Community: We build relationships through our work across a 5-County region in Northwestern Lower Michigan.
"Approximately 13% of Michigan households, or over 1 in 8 adults, experienced food insecurity between 2021 and 2023."
