Tender Mercies Program

The Tender Mercies program:

Feeds the hungry nutritiously. Foodbank products are donated or carefully procured based upon market surplus and need. It is not always possible or within our control to ensure that all recipients can receive foods that will promote health and nutrition. The Tender Mercies meal packet fills that void and offers us the opportunity to provide balanced meals and fulfills our mission with excellence.

1. Offers volunteer opportunities. The Tender Mercies Program is a hands-on activity for all ages and abilities. Volunteers become a part of the Midwest Food Bank family and are given the opportunity to make an immediate impact while gaining a servant's heart. The transformation of ingredients to compassion is a powerful one!
2. Feeds people everywhere. Tender Mercies meals are currently distributed to food pantries served by Midwest Food Bank and also used internationally through our locations in Haiti and Africa. These meal packets allow us to meet the needs of people in our backyards and around the world.
3. Fosters a donor's heart. Tender Mercies meals can be made possible as sponsorships allow. Please consider sponsoring a pallet of Tender Mercies meals, volunteering to pack meals or both!
