Please visit our website for more information about grocery distribution: twelve-baskets.org/index.php/get-food/
Our distribution is a drive-thru process. Please arrive with an empty trunk and stay in your vehicles at all times. You will receive meats, bakery, nonperishable food and drink items, produce, and dairy items.
Due to the large amount of food that we give out during distribution it is important to only have the max of TWO families per vehicle. We understand there are several people who do not have vehicles and must get a ride, but please limit it to only two families per vehicle.
Picking up of groceries is limited to two times per month per household (address). We serve Portage, Schoolcraft, Vicksburg, and Three Rivers addresses. People outside of our primary service area are welcome to line up for groceries beginning at NOON.
Twelve Baskets 10th Anniversary Capital Campaign
Our property at 10330 Portage Rd. and its parking lot need major renovation and repairs required by City of Portage building codes that we are on target to complete by spring 2025 (renovation project and photos). We’ve determined an estimate of $520,000 to complete the required repairs and renovations. We are seeking corporate, community and individual donors to help us raise these critical funds to keep the pantry open and our baskets full! Read more.
