Homelessness and hunger are problems many Detroit residents must deal with day in and day out. That's why the Eastern Michigan Division of The Salvation Army is proud to run the Bed & Bread Club®. We're dedicated to feeding the hungry residents of Detroit who are unable to make it to a soup kitchen and providing overnight shelter for those residents who have no place to sleep.
Each day, no matter the weather, our Bed & Bread Club truck drivers make their way through all of Detroit, traveling multiple routes and making over 60 stops to feed the hungry. That even includes holidays and days when the weather may prove dangerous, because we understand that hunger doesn't take any days off. On days so cold that the postal service can't deliver mail and schools close, our trucks deliver hundreds of meals to people who otherwise would not eat at all.
As is the case in many cities across America, Detroit has its share of economically depressed areas, making access to quality food and shelter more difficult. The Bed & Bread Club is just one of many ways in which the Eastern Michigan Division of The Salvation Army strives to provide support for these Detroit communities.
Throughout the summer and fall of 2021, we have volunteer opportunities in our kitchen located at our Divisional Headquarters, 16130 Northland Dr in Southfield. Volunteers may sign up to make sandwiches in the kitchen. Please call Barb Pilat at 248-996-5051 or email her at barbara.pilat@usc.salvationarmy.org. See more information below.
Every day, our trucks are there to feed them.
Each of our Corps Community Centers serves our communities with an array of programs, including senior luncheons, food pantries, after school tutoring, and more! For more information, please email Barbara Pilat, our Volunteer Manager, at barbara.pilat@usc.salvationarmy.org or call 248-200-3440.
