MACOMB COUNTY Food insecurity is one of the most common, but often forgotten, repercussions of major crises.
The Macomb Food Program has addressed local food insecurity for over 40 years and recently received a major financial boost, courtesy of McLaren Macomb Hospital, in the form of a $10,000 donation.
“The pandemic has caused an unbelievable amount of heartache and anguish within our community, not least of which is the rise of food insecurity,” said McLaren Macomb President and CEO Tom Brisse. “More and more families have been forced to turn to local food pantries, and our hope for this donation is that it inspires others to donate or in any way support the amazing mission of the Macomb Food Program.”
