Let's Celebrate a Successful Oktoberfest!

Let's Celebrate a Successful Oktoberfest!

Oktoberfest went wonderfully, thank you to everyone who came out to support us! We had over 200 people come to eat our delicious German snacks, dinner, desserts, and beverages. Folks played chess, basketball, and Connect Four. Children got their faces painted, played with balloon animals, jumped around in our bounce house, and colored with our child care volunteers! We couldn’t be happier with the turnout, we love our community! 

Help us give a big thank you to King of Kings Lutheran Church in Shelby Township for sharing their tents, Metzger’s for making the food, Nativity of the Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox Church for fencing, KBK Garden Center for our makeshift tent weights, our childcare workers, food service volunteers, church bartenders, and our FedUp crew for running our tables. And a special thank you to Tiffany Marshment and Pastor Anna who planned such a successful event!

Help Us Welcome Alysa to the FedUp Team!

Help Us Welcome Alysa to the FedUp Team!

Alysa is a former metro Detroit journalist who managed to discern a call to ministry over the shouts of her two boys — Theo, 7 and Milo, 3.5. In fits and starts, she’s working her way through seminary in the distance learning program at Luther. She’s passionate about social justice — a calling that started while working in journalism and has been strengthened through her work in the church. She’s already getting into the groove of kitchen work at FedUp and excited for what her time in this ministry will look like.

Help Us Welcome Doug to the FedUp Team!

Help Us Welcome Doug to the FedUp Team!

Hi, I'm Doug. This year my wife and I made a big move from Lansing to Ypsilanti to be closer to our son and daughter in law. I've been learning my way around the city and meeting new people. I became involved with Fed Up Ministries and the food truck about a month ago and I enjoy being a part of this group. I like gardening and grow vegetables and various plants. I'm looking forward to exploring more about the city.

Learn More about our Community Fridge Project!

Recently, we were generously gifted three fridges that we hope to place in a public place, filled with fresh food and could be accessed by anyone, anytime, for free. We created a survey to ask our community members where they would like for these fridges to be placed and what they would like to see in them. We have started canvassing with some partner organizations including, Avalon Housing, Shelter Association of Washtenaw, and Pull Over Prevention; and at our serving locations. We are grateful for all the organizations and individuals coming together to make this happen!  We look forward to keeping you all updated on this project! If you or anyone you know is expereincing homelessness or food insecurity, please share our survey linked below.
