Help fill the food gap in Berrien County!
Food insecurity has surged in recent years, leaving 1 in 6 Berrien County residents—and 1 in 5 children—struggling to access enough nutritious food. Black and Latino communities are disproportionately affected, and local food pantries are overwhelmed by rising demand, limited resources, and logistical challenges.
Despite the region’s agricultural abundance, surplus food often doesn’t reach those who need it most. The Food For Good Fund supports innovative local efforts like The Nutrition Exchange of Southwest Michigan and Meat The Need, which take a unique approach to tackling food insecurity and improving health outcomes.

Did You Know?
16% of Berrien County residents are considered food insecure. That means they do not have enough food for every person in a household to live an active, healthy life.
Addressing food insecurity isn’t just about hunger. It’s linked to higher risks of diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease.
Many local food pantries are struggling due to rising demand, increased food costs and limited storage. BCF and its partners are here to help meet these needs to see our community flourish.
