Creating Hope In the Midst of Crisis
With schools closed and many families facing unemployment due to COVID-19, food insecurity surged throughout Michigan starting in March and hit those in poverty harder than others.
Expanding our typical efforts to meet the increased need, Zaman mobilized to serve as an emergency food distribution center despite dealing with our own budget crunch brought on by the pandemic.
Due to COVID-19, demand for services has skyrocketed, and, since March, Zaman has distributed more than 141,000 pounds - or 70.5 tons - of food through emergency home deliveries and drive-through food distribution events.
By comparison, in all of 2019, Zaman distributed just over 170,000 pounds of food.
Together with local partners, Zaman has provided over 6,000 emergency food kits to those in need since March, feeding approximately 24,000 individuals. This includes low-income families, seniors, and students who rely on free and reduced meals during normal school operations.
As we continue to realize the full impact of COVID-19 throughout our community, your support is more crucial than ever.
You can give to Zaman confidently, knowing that your gift has impact: $25 feeds a family of four, $50 feeds two families, $100 feeds four families, and $500 feeds twenty families — for a week.
Food not only sustains life, it provides dignity and security. It provides hope for a better future.
Join us today. Together, we will keep spreading hope, one family at a time.
