Hungry is no way to spend a childhood
Every day The Salvation Army helps cure hunger by providing nutritious meals to neighbors in need.
Here in Michigan, one out of six children face food insecurity.
The Salvation Army works to ensure that every member of our community has the food they need to thrive. If you face hunger, we want you to know that you are not alone.
