Outreach East

Through grants /donations, Outreach East is able to supply containers and pay school employees to package the left-over un-served food to freeze for pick up once a week to distribute to our food clients. The response to this program is great. Seniors and moms love to just pop it in the microwave for a quick meal – pizza, hamburg, meatballs potatoes and gravy , chicken nuggets , breakfast items and many items we would not be able to supply to our clients. That totals approximately 6000-7000 pounds of food a year that otherwise would be thrown away. Win- win for everyone! See our website for our exact service area.
Due to the pandemic this program is temporarily on hold. We hope to resume soon!

Clients can visit our clothing room every other month . Last year Outreach East gave out over 3200 Adult shirts , 1800 adult pants, 2500 boys and girls shirts, over 1900 boys and girls pants and 1850 pairs of underwear and over 2000 socks.

Outreach helps with financial assistance for utilities, rent evictions etc. depending on funds availability. In 2020 and 2021 (annual figures) we were able to help with over $124,000 in rent evictions and utilities alone due to Covid-19. This does not include what was spent on medical, auto and other expenses.

We take very good care of our littlest clients. Diapers and wipes are always available. Formula ,baby food, shampoo, powder and lotion are also available dependent on donations

Last year Outreach was able to give almost 700 holiday dinners. These dinners included ham or turkey, stuffing , potatoes,gravy , yams, marsh mellows, green beans,cream of mushroom soup, cake and frosting , biscuits, pancakes , syrup and of course they received their normal monthly food order as well.

Last year outreach assisted over 420 Children with Christmas gifts. It is because of all the people and local businesses that “adopt a child” that makes a wonderful Christmas happen for children that otherwise may not have one. (Currently our Christmas program is reserved for students in the Davison Community School District)

Outreach works with Davison Schools as well as many other agencies in Genesee County and maintains a database with other surrounding entities to ensure clients do not get Christmas help from multiple agencies.

Outreach collects returnable cans and bottles for our “Cans For Coats “ drive the first Saturday in November. Proceeds raised from this enables us to buy new coats, snow suits and boots for our area children in need . You don’t have to store your returnable cans and bottles all year. Just drop them off to us during our open hours at your convenience.
See our website (www.outreacheast.org) for our service area.
