COLDWATER — With the need for food in Branch County growing, the Food Bank of South Central Michigan (FBSCM) is doing what they can to keep supplying food to local agencies.

According to Holly Cavinder of the FBSCM, the annual Easter fundraiser campaign is undergoing a change this year. In years past, a grocery bag has been inserted into local newspapers that people could fill with groceries and return to local Felpausch stores. With the grocery store under new management, that will change this year. In Easter weekend publications of The Daily Reporter in Coldwater and the Hillsdale Daily News, an envelope will be inserted where donors can write checks to the FBSCM and drop them in the mail.

The donations will allow the FBSCM to continue to distribute food to agencies in Branch County. Currently the FBSCM supplies food and grocery items to 25 local agencies including agencies in Bronson, Coldwater, Quincy, Union City, Sherwood and Burlington.
