Here's your chance to 'own' a part of the pantry

Have you ever thought about what your favorite aisle or product might be at your local grocery store?  You don't have one... you never thought much about it?  Well, here is a chance to not only have a favorite aisle or product, but also to take some responsibility for how your favorite product looks on our pantry shelf.

For anyone

Adopt-a-Shelf is open to individuals, families, churches, community groups, businesses and just about anyone interested in helping to dress up the pantry and make it as pleasant a shopping experience for our clients as possible.

Are you interested

Our pantry coordinator reviews and updates our records on the products and shelf space that is currently cared for by this special group of volunteers.  If you’d like to join this special group of volunteers and “own a piece of the pantry,” call 248.628.3933.  An office volunteer will take a message and the coordinator will call you back and go over the list of shelves and products that are available for adoption.  ​ ​

From the beginning

Since it began, the program has definitely added to the appearance and selections available for our shoppers.  Individuals and families of all sizes benefit from the care and attention Adopt-a-Shelf donors are giving to 'their special part' of the pantry.

How it works

You can either purchase the product, deliver and stock it on the shelves, or donate funds for your item to be purchased and shelved by our dedicated pantry volunteers. We would give you a call when your item(s) are low.  Also, you can decorate your shelf as you might like, or simply have us put a label on your shelf with your name and any other design or information you might like us to use.
