About this Meal Train Plus page

Thank you for signing up to provide dinner to community members in Battle Creek, with a special focus on those who are unhoused. While anyone in need of food or other items can utilize the Little Free Pantry, the bulk of the community we serve are those without a place to live. Please note that this meal train sign-up is specifically for dinner. Anyone is welcome to stock the pantry at any time without signing up. Lunches are available in the pantry Monday through Friday. They are stocked a few at a time and refilled as necessary until we run out for the day. Currently, we are serving 20 lunches per day. Each meal must be packaged to-go to minimize traffic on the street. We serve about 90 meals per week to the unhoused community in Battle Creek, and 40 meals per week in Kalamazoo. These meals are distributed directly to those in need and are an essential part of our mission to support and provide for underserved individuals in our community. At Freetail Therapy, we value the contribution of volunteers who are interested in cooking and serving meals to the unhoused community. If this is something you are passionate about, we would love to have you join our efforts. We understand that everyone's circumstances are different, which is why we offer flexible options for those who wish to help in any way they can. We can provide the necessary supplies from our donated goods to help you cook and serve meals. Alternatively, you are welcome to supply your own ingredients. If you are not able to serve, but can cook, that is perfectly fine. We appreciate all contributions and understand that everyone has different capabilities. If you would like to sign up for a dinner, please let us know if you can drop off your prepared meal or if you require pickup. Our team will work with you to ensure that your donation is received and distributed to those in need. Together, we can make a meaningful impact in the lives of those we serve.
