Fight Hunger in Southeast Michigan: Drop Off Food at Bacon Library in Wyandotte

The Bacon Memorial District Library in Wyandotte is a collection center for the Food for THought campaign running throughout the month of April.

Food for Thought is a regional effort between libraries in southeast Michigan and Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeast Michigan.

Nonperishable food items can be dropped off during normal library hours: 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

The campaign is an effort to offset the post-holiday decline in emergency food availability while increasing community engagement with local libraries, according to a Bacon Library release.

"Hunger and charity are at the forefront of everyone’s minds during the holidays, but it is often forgotten that the need for emergency food assistance remains relatively constant year-round," according to the release. "As a result, food banks experience a decrease in inventory during late winter and early spring."
