Free Dairy & Produce Boxes Giveaway in Burton on July 4th

If you're in need or know of somebody who is, please share this.

The Michigan Muslim Community Council is teaming up with the Stockbridge Foundation to hand out free boxes of dairy and produce products throughout Michigan on the 4th of July.

They'll be at five different locations on Saturday - Burton, Warren, Hamtramck, Detroit, Ionia, and Canton. Locally, they'll be at Courtland Center Mall from 1-3 PM. Everybody is welcome; it will be a drive-thru setup.

The MMCC has been giving out free food during the COVID-19 crisis for a while now; their goal is to collect $1M for their food fundraising drive. So far, they've collected about $300,000.

Please share this if you know somebody who is struggling with food insecurity during the pandemic. We've passed the "honeymoon phase" where people are stepping up to help and be empathetic towards each other, unfortunately. But it's important to remember that many people are still struggling and haven't received unemployment or a small business loan yet.

Big thanks to the Michigan Muslim Community Council for stepping up!
