We Have Three Year-round Food Pantries

Food insecurity and a lack of access to fresh food is a very real issue in our community. Packard Health is trying to help fill the gap for its patients, offering three food pantries stocked by Food Gatherers, and the seasonal Fresh-a-Sprout FREE fresh food market.

Appointments are not necessary and everything is free and open to the entire community-patients and non-patients alike.

Please call (734) 971-1073 before you visit our food pantries to confirm that they are open on that day.

Pantry Guidelines

When visiting our pantries please keep the following guidelines in mind:

  • If you are experiencing food insecurity that is not addressed with our current pantry operations, please inform our staff.
  • One person per household is welcome to shop one Packard Health pantry location weekly.
  • Shoppers must be 18+ yrs old.
  • Shopping guidelines: one meat item/household, one dairy item/household
  • Stocked provisions are based on what is available through our partner, Food Gatherers. We are unable to accommodate specific dietary requests.
  • Please be patient and considerate of others waiting to use the pantry. Rude or inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.
  • Clients are accompanied to the pantry on a first come/first serve basis.
  • Should necessary circumstances arrive, the pantry may close without notice.

Fresh-a-Sprout FREE Fresh Food Market

The Fresh-a-Sprout market has closed for the season, but it will be back in the spring! All the food offered in the Fresh-a-Sprout market is donated by The Farm at Trinity Health and is FREE to all community members. It is typically held each Tuesday unless there is heavy rain/snow fall and/or thundering and lightning. ​​​​​​​It rotates through our three clinic locations and runs through the end of produce season.
