The Food Bank of Eastern Michigan works with more than 600 Hunger Relief Partners to distribute food throughout 22 counties.

There are more than 211,000 people struggling with hunger in eastern Michigan. In 2023, the Food Bank distributed over 30 million pounds of food and more than half of that was fresh!

  • 13 million pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables including Michigan produce from more than a dozen farms
  • 3.3 million pounds of dairy products
  • 4.6 million pounds of meat and other proteins

This holiday season, Big John Steak & Onion is generously offering to double your donations. For every dollar donated, Big John will match it, up to the first $100,000, effectively doubling the impact of your contribution. It’s a fantastic opportunity to give back and make a meaningful difference during the season of giving.
