Emergency Food Pantry
The Salvation Army Emergency Food Pantry is here to serve any Muskegon County household experiencing a food emergency. The hours are as follows: Monday through Friday, 11 am to 2 pm. No appointment is needed, but a sign-in sheet is provided for client convenience. Families experiencing a food emergency can access the pantry as emergencies arise between 1 and 12 times within a year based on income and circumstance. Budgeting classes are also offered to assist the client in stretching future resources and help maintain self-sustainability going forward.
