Jackson Community Food Pantry

The Jackson Community Food Pantry (JCFP) is a 501c3 non-profit that provides food to those in the Jackson Michigan area, that have been impacted by financial problems as a result of: unemployment (lay-offs & downsizing), divorce, disability, health, domestic violence, homelessness, disaster, aging and rising cost of living. We gather, store and distribute goods to those who find themselves in a time of special need and crisis. Our mission incorporates a respect for the dignity of each person we serve and seeks to collaborate with those who share our mission. The pantry is open every Wednesday from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at 701 Greenwood. A picture ID is required. There are 4 teams of volunteers that run the pantry with each team taking one Wednesday a month. A 5th team handles the work on any month that has 5 Wednesdays. About 95% of the food for the pantry is purchased from the Food Bank of South Central Michigan in Battle Creek at a greatly reduced price. There is a team of volunteers that unload the truck and stock the shelves when food deliveries arrive from the Food Bank.
