How You Can Help

Produce donated by Second Springs Farm

Here are the ways you can help:

  • Homemade meals. You can bring us meals you’ve prepared at home or help us cook in the church kitchen.
  • Donate food, fresh or frozen, as long as it is not expired.
  • Make a monetary donation. Checks can be made payable to 5Loaves2FishNMI or via the Leland Community United Methodist Church, memo “5loaves2fish”. Checks may be mailed to either:
    • PO Box 516, Leland, MI 49654
    • 106 4th Street, Leland, MI 49654
  • Contribute to our endowment fund. Our fund is administered by the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation. More information can be found here: https://www.gtrcf.org/give/our-funds.html/375/
  • We also have a donation link for electronic donations via Square:
  • Give some of your time. We need help not only preparing meals, but serving, cleaning up, and organizing the kitchen.
