MARQUETTE, Mich. (WJMN) — A church and thrift store are partnering with Feeding America West Michigan to host a mobile food pantry event in mid-April.

Silver Creek Church and Silver Creek Thrift are helping to provide food for about 500 families in the Marquette area on Thursday, April 11. Food distribution is planned to start at 10 a.m.

The mobile food pantry will be a drive-through event with parking lot attendants to help guide the process. Guests are asked to remain in their cars and have adequate space prepared in their trunk or back seat in advance to allow the distribution team to place food boxes directly in the vehicle.

There is no need to bring any boxes to this event. Silver Creek Church and Silver Creek Thrift are located at 219 Silver Creek Road in Harvey.

Businesses or organizations that are interested in supporting these monthly mobile food pantries are encouraged to call 906-249-1715.
