Missions
Hand 2 Hand is a ministry we are
assisting in partnership with other area
churches. The goal of this mission is to
provide food for children qualified to
receive free and reduced lunches at
school.
To the right is a list of items we always
need!
1 in 4 households with children in
Michigan lacked enough money to buy

How you can benefit through the following:
Michigan Public Acts 256 and 231 of 1994 reward financial contributions to Michigan food banks with a 50% State income tax credit (half your money
back!). Limits: up to a $100 credit ( for a
$200 gift ) for an individual, $200 ( for a $400 gift ) for a married couple filing jointly, and for businesses, 5% of the
business’s tax liability before claiming any other credits, or $5,000, whichever is less. In addition to the State credit, your
gift to a Michigan food bank should also qualify for a normal Federal income tax charitable deduction.
