2026: CAN Food Security Development VISTA

CAN partners with children, youth, and families from under-resourced neighborhoods to help them thrive. We proudly host some of the largest food distributions in Washtenaw County. Our Bryant Center food program operates 5 days a week and provides food to over 500 families weekly. Our Brick Center food program operates 3 days a week and provides food to over 50 families weekly. We have seen astronomical increases in food security needs over the past couple of years. Without dedicated funding for food programming, we struggle to keep our programs sufficiently staffed and running smoothly. This Food Security Development VISTA will help keep programs running effectively at their main site and other locations as needed. The member will research and implement initiatives to help meet the growing food security needs of the community.
