Where: 2889 Aero Park Drive in Traverse City which is located right off Three Mile Road. You’ll see the Goodwill sign near the road. When you turn in, drive towards the back; our warehouse is the second one on the right and has green metal siding. Park in any marked spot near the warehouse, making sure to leave the truck turnaround clear of cars. The entrance you’ll use is to the immediate right of the garage doors/truck bays -- look for the volunteer sign that points towards the glass door. Pull the door to enter, sign in on the clipboard, and then ring the doorbell in the vestibule. Please carpool if possible. Thank you!

About Goodwill Northern Michigan-Food Rescue of Northwest Michigan:

Food Rescue of Northwest Michigan - Putting Good Food to Good Use

Each year, we rescue, repack, and distribute 2.2 million pounds of food — $3.7 million worth of food, enough to make 1.8 million meals — keeping it out of the landfill and getting it to the 16,000 people in our region who face difficult choices each month between paying for food, rent, medicine, or utilities.

Every day, we pick up 1,000 loaves of bread, 3,500 pounds of produce, 750 pounds of dairy, and 600 pounds of meat, and deliver 8,000 pounds of nutritious food to 78 food pantries and community meal sites in the Northwest Food Coalition.

We partner with 210 local organizations, including 82 farms to rescue and deliver food across a five-county rural region that’s twice the size of Rhode Islands, focusing on the food that is hardest to access — 44% of the food we deliver is fruits and vegetables!
