Mattawan Food Packs would like to thank the Mike and Sharon Seelye Family Foundation for their generous donation! This donation will go a long way to meeting our goal of increasing the number of hungry children we can provide for during the 2013/2014 school year. We are fortunate to have them as part of our Mattawan community.

Mattawan Food Packs would like to thank Erica Brusseau for so professionally designing our new flyers! She and her family along with Portage Printing also donated the printing of them. They will certainly help spread the word about the need to help our children in need. If you or your place of business would like to request more information on our service to the Mattawan Community or how you can help, please leave a comment and someone will be in contact you.

A Very Special Thank You

Mattawan Food Packs would like to thank all those volunteers who have packed back packs on Wednesday nights, baked cookies, donated money, food and hygiene items! This program would not function without all of your help. Mattawan community has proven to be a caring, sharing and generous community.

Many of you have asked what you can give to the cause. Because we can purchase food at such a reasonable price through Feeding America, monetary donations can be stretched to the fullest extent. The best part is that a monetary donation goes 100% to feeding hungry children in Mattawan and we have no administrative fees. Plus all donations are tax-deductible!

Checks should be made out and mailed to:

Mattawan Area Pantry

P. O. Box 155
