Project Title: Islamic Center of Detroit Food Security Program
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
When the Covid-19 pandemic hit the United States, the State of Michigan, and more specifically the City of Detroit, were deemed a hot spot within our nation. Now, during this third wave, the spread has doubled daily and is highest in areas where low poverty is present; especially downtown Detroit, with over half of the statewide deaths having occurred in Wayne County and one third of those within the City of Detroit. (2021) Additionally, since the pause of in-person learning throughout the Detroit Public Schools System, due to increased spread of the Omicron variant, the Islamic Center of Detroit (ICD) has seen a dramatic increase in food insecurity, especially amongst these Detroit area students and their families.
\nSince the onset of Covid-19 in southeast Michigan, ICD has served 5,000 daily meals (breakfast and lunch), and over 2,500 individuals with food from our food pantry each week, free of charge. Meals are normally funded through the State of Michigan for 500 students; however, due to increased need and demand, as well as soaring unemployment, we are now serving over 5,000 individuals each day. Additionally, the average donation received for the food pantry is usually only enough for 450 individuals; however, demand has reached over 2,500 individuals each week.
\nThrough the ICD Food Security Program, we will continue to provide food pantry items for 2,500 individuals each week, including: rice, sugar, salt, canned goods, vegetables, fruits, bread, beans, and pasta. Staff and volunteers have been trained on health and safety precautions concerning food preparation and distribution, via CDC guidelines. Each person preparing, packing, and distributing the food boxes wears gloves, masks, and take every necessary precaution to stay safe and mind the safety of others.
\nThis program is important, as it specifically provides critical needs for the impoverished, vulnerable, elderly, disabled, and other children, families, and individuals that are in need, residing in our geographic focus area of Southeast Michigan. On average, \u201cDetroit (zip 48228) has an unemployment rate of 11.6%. The US average is 5.2%.\u201d (\u201cMichigan Economy\u201d 2018) These numbers have been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. In fact, according to CBS Detroit, the State of Michigan ranks in the top 25 of states with high unemployment due to the economic challenges of the pandemic. (2021) Since ICD is located in the most impoverished area of metro Detroit (48228), it is imperative that we are able to reach low- and no-income individuals that are highly impacted by this crisis, fulfilling basic needs such as food insecurity in an innovative and grass roots capacity.
\nThe program is being marketed on all social media sites, as well as partner sites throughout metro Detroit. Additionally, people are referred to our food pantry through other partner agencies. Regular donations have been secured to continue to meet the increasing need for meals and food pantry items each week. Some of these donors include the United Way of Southeastern Michigan, Islamic Relief, and the State of Michigan, USDA, and Atlas Foods. <\/p>\n
