Is there an organization providing food and support services?
Starting March 18, the UM Food Bank (Kinard Hall, Room 213) is moving to a Grab-N-Go bag system to promote social distancing and limit person-to-person contact. It will be a self-serve operation in the lobby outside the Food Bank on the second floor of Kinard Hall. These items will be available any time while supplies last. Currently, the Food Bank is low on high-demand items, but will have some ready-to-go meals with recipes and pantry staples bags. Food is being restocked as much as possible. For more information, email olemissfoodbank@gmail.com.
I am feeling really overwhelmed. Who can I talk to?
