FedUp is taking some intentional rest after the height of summer programming, and closing for a week beginning August 31st. We return to our fall programming on Wednesday, September 9th at Liberty Plaza! 

While our team is on break, lunch and dinner will be provided and served by FedUp's Board at our regular spots, Liberty Plaza Ann Arbor & First Presbyterian Church Ypsilanti. If you would like to volunteer alongside Board members during meal services on September 2nd, please email info@fedupministries.org.

This past month we said a bittersweet goodbye to our amazing Master of Social Work interns, Hannah and Liz, who have graduated the MSW program and moved on to the next chapter of their social work careers. Liz just landed a full-time job, and Hannah will be finishing up her dual Master of Public Health/Master of Social Work degree while working on staff a couple of hours a week with us helping us to orient our new students who start in September!

These amazing students have worked tirelessly for the community we serve, and we are grateful to have hosted their internship experiences. Congrats on your hard work paying off, Liz and Hannah. This community has been blessed by your presence here.

Thank you to the Ypsilanti District Libraries for hosting us at two branches this summer! Our programming with YDL concluded on August 10th, with our final session of Mini Chef Camp where we made no-bake cookies. Through this supportive partnership, FedUp and YDL helped to serve over 2,200 meals to neighbors experiencing food insecurity at both the Downtown Michigan Ave and Superior Township locations!

Please see our fall programming schedule above, which we will maintain through the end of October. 

Check out our press release above. If you'd like more information or to get involved, reach out to us at info@fedupministries.org. Our first monthly event on the food truck at St. Paul Dearborn is Saturday, September 19, 2026 at 11am!

The FedUp team had the joy of returning to Ann Arbor Pride on August 1st, where we served loaded taco fries as a Pay-What-You-Can menu from our food truck. Thank you to all our beautiful LGBTQ+ friends who ate with us and donated to our mission. Thanks Ann Arbor Pride for having us again, see you all again next year!

FedUp came out to Ypsi Food Fest on August 15th, to show support for other local food truck and share information about who we are! We hope to be back again next year!

FedUp partnered with Sprirt of Christ Lutheran Church in Clawson on August 22nd to offer our Pay-What-You-Can menu. Guests are able to give whatever amount they are able for our meal, ranging from $1, $5, $10 or nothing at all. Thanks to Spirit of Christ Lutheran Church for inviting us out for this great cause!
