Yoplait is partnering with Feeding America West Michigan to improve access to food.
Seeing the need for more refrigerator storage Yoplait donated a new 53 foot refrigerated trailer truck to the food bank’s Cadillac location.
The truck made its debut on Monday with Feeding America volunteers serving people in Reed City.
As with most food banks, Feeding America West Michigan has a nearly 60% increase in food requests so it needed the extra capacity.
“We had really a very old vehicle that got retired and this truck is capable of distributing 43,000 pounds of food or approximately 20 pallets worth of food and it’s double our capacity to distribute refrigerated food,” said Patti Jean McCahill, Marketing Director.
CADILLAC â Feeding America West Michigan is fresh off one of the busiest years they ve ever experienced.
Lorrie Hockanson, Feeding America West Michigan branch manager, said in her 12 years with the organization, she s never seen as much need as she did in 2020. It was crazy, Hockanson said. In a good way. It s good that we can get this food out to people who need it.
When Hockanson started at Feeding America, she said they had five or six mobile food pantry distribution events a month; in 2020, she said they held a distribution event in area counties almost every day; and already this year, Hockanson said they re averaging around 15 distributions a month.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. â Meijer partnered up with YMCA of Grand Rapids, Feeding America West Michigan and the West Michigan Whitecaps to donate almost 6,000 turkeys to residents in need Wednesday morning.
The turkeys were distributed to area families in the parking lot of LMCU Ballpark.
It was among several events that will encompass more than $1 million of food relief for local food banks across the Midwest, according to a news release.
Turkeys were placed directly in vehicles to help ensure COVID-19 safety protocols were followed.
