We understand that the ongoing government shutdown may affect some families’ access to necessary benefits. Please know — you are not alone. Flint Community Schools is committed to supporting our scholars and families throughout this time.
Food Distribution Resources Are Available
If your household is experiencing a temporary loss or disruption of benefits, there are community food support sites ready to assist — regardless of benefit status.
You can find locations, dates, and times of food distributions taking place throughout the month of November here:
Food Bank of Eastern Michigan: https://www.fbem.org/find-food/
Greater Flint Health Coalition: https://gfhc.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/GFHC.November.Nutrition.Calendar.110125.docx-1.pdf
Please Reach Out if You Need Support
No family should ever have to go without basic essentials. We encourage anyone who may be in need to take advantage of the resources available. That’s what community is for — showing up for one another.
