Food Pantry

The Love INC Community Food Pantry was born out of a collaborative partnership between the Newaygo Food Pantry and Love INC of Newaygo County. In 2006, the pantry was moved from St. Bartholomew Catholic Church to the Love INC campus. Pantry services have been expanded to include all qualified Newaygo County residents.

In 2021, the pantry served 4,500 people. It is currently serving on average, 600 families each month.

If you are in need of pantry services or would like to learn more about volunteering in the food pantry, please contact us.

Where does the pantry get its food?
About 74% of all food stocked in the pantry comes from the Feeding America West Michigan Food Bank at 18¢ per pound or less. For every $10 donated to the pantry, we are able to purchase approximately 50 lbs. of food. The remaining 26% of food comes from local food drives, church pantry collections, local gardeners and farmers, grocery store donations, school food drives, or other events.
