Four County Community Foundation

4CCF Feeding Families Forever Fund

For a variety of reasons, local residents find themselves in need of food assistance. Whether they’re between jobs, without stable housing, facing an illness or injury or helping a family member through a challenging time.

Most recent data, from the 2022 Feeding America’s Map the Meal Gap, shows that 14.4 percent of St. Clair County residents, 13.4 percent of Lapeer County residents, 12.6 percent of Macomb County residents and 11 percent of Oakland County residents are considered to be food insecure.

Those households struggling to afford food, including many who don’t qualify for federal nutrition programs, often turn to local food pantries for help, but these volunteer organizations are also feeling the impact of increased costs. Between 2019 and 2023, the all-food Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 25 percent.

That’s where our 4CCF Feeding Families Forever Fund steps in to help.  Our fund assists food pantries and other nonprofit groups who provide food programs to the communities we serve. Over the years, 4CCF has granted dollars to organizations to purchase food, obtain freezers and refrigerators, improve their storage facilities and much more.

Thank you for your support of Four County Community Foundation and our efforts to address food insecurity.

Nonprofit organizations needing financial support for food security programs may contact the Foundation for more information.  Grant requests for this fund will be reviewed by the Foundation’s grant review committee quarterly.
