Many food banks in Muskegon Michigan provide seasonal services or offer clients some form of other support. The details will vary by pantry. But what an income qualified family may find can include free Christmas or Thanksgiving meals, Meals on Wheels for the homebound and other non-monetary support. That may be hygiene items or even clothing or gifts for children.

Another focus is on served those that would be most at a health or safety risk without adequate food.
