Some of the sites do emergency food distribution and the once a month TEFAP distribution. Needy persons may be eligible to receive both emergency food (no income restrictions - only the need for food and be a Macomb County resident) and TEFAP. |
A ride to a food pantry, pick up of food for the client and delivery to their home (if the pantry allows this - many do not), a ride to the grocery store and help with shopping if needed, a volunteer to shop FOR the older or disabled adult, and delivery of the groceries to their home, short-term meal preparation, and one-time delivery of emergency food (no charge).
