Come shop our Free Store! Our Free Store has pretty much EVERYTHING! We have clothing for adults and children alike. We also have over the counter medicines, adult and children diapers, blankets, sheets, and house hold decor. We also have kids toys, small appliances and dishes. Our Free Store is open to the public. Please find our Free Store Page on Facebook for regular updates and information.
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.
Our Perishables Only grocery distribution is open to all who need groceries. We hand out fresh produce, breads, bakery items, and dairy items on these days. Please line up just like a regular grocery distribution. We will load the items in your trunk. Please stay in your vehicle at all times.
Thank you and God bless

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.
