Kellogg partners with United Way for food drive

ALPENA, Mich. — United Way of Northeast Michigan partners with Kellogg’s for a first-ever statewide event collecting food to help stock food pantries throughout Michigan.

The “Summer Stock Up” event comes at a time of year when donations drop considerably.

United Way’s Executive Director Joe Gentry said because of COVID, food insecurities have increased.  Gentry said United Way donated $5,000 to sponsor five pop–up pantries in Hillman and Montmorency.  He said a report from the pantries indicated a change in those in need.

The event begins June 1-25 and drop off locations will be at the following:

  • Dean Arbour Ford Lincoln – 1001 US 23 North, Alpena
  • Cliff Anscheutz Chevrolet – 1074 US 23 North, Alpena
  • Alpena Buick GMC – 133 Johnson St., Alpena
  • Melnerney Automotive – 832 W. Chisholm, Alpena
  • Mid-Michigan Medical Center – 1501 W. Chisholm, Alpena (inside front entrance)
