We have a new website! Yay. We have updated information and photos, and we can now update it much easier. We have also upgraded our donation page to allow users to donate any amount they would like, and even make those donations automated on a monthly basis. Please check it out and let us know what you think:

The Williamston Food Bank provides essential groceries and supplies to families in need throughout Williamston, Michigan. Powered by local volunteers and community donations, we work year-round to reduce food insecurity close to home.

Just a quick shout out to Red Cedar Transfers, who just donated proceeds from the High FIve Fitness Turkey Trot 5K t-shirts to help with holiday food distribution. We are so thankful for the generosity of our local business partners. Thank you Kyle and Melissa!

With the threat of SNAP benefits not being available in November, the Williamston Food Bank is preparing to help more people in our community than normal. We have already been receiving some donations in preparation of this, and we are so greatful for the generosity of the Williamston community. Thank you! If you have the ability to donate, we will work hard to put that donation to good use to help our neighbors.

Many have asked if we have a need for volunteers at the Food Bank. The short answer is yes, but we wanted to clarify what we need. We are looking for 3-4 people that are able to volunteer their time the last Friday and Saturday each month. Just a few hours each day, and the work is easy and fun. The most important part of this volunteer opportunity is committing to being available every month. If this is something of interest to you, we would love to hear from you. Please contact our volunteer coordinator Cathy Purdum at [email protected].

So many of you have been asking if we are accepting food donations yet. Currently the food bank is doing drive-by distribution. This means food is pre-packed and everyone gets the same thing. We need to have large quantities of each item, not a few of many items. With the upcoming holiday season, the food bank would like to do a limited food drive. We will only accept the following items: yams and marshmallows; cake mix and frosting; 13.75 oz. box of
instant mashed potatoes and poultry gravy and fried onions and stuffing. We are hoping to get about 100 of each item. Please make sure nothing is expired. There are 3 drop off days at the food bank, October 10, from 9-11 am, October 28, from 9-11 am and November 7, from 9-11am.

We are so grateful for the support we receive from this amazing Williamston community. We look forward to the assistance we know you will provide to make this a better holiday season for the food bank clients. If you have additional questions, please contact us at [email protected]

The Williamston Food Bank is putting a hold on any donations of food until further notice. Once we deem it safe to accept food donations, we will let the public know. We are still accepting monetary donations, which allow us to continue to help those in our community most in need. Thank you for your understanding!
