We recently said bye to Liz M, FedUp’s Registered Dietitian and one of our Team Leaders, as she moves on to future opportunities. We are so grateful to have had Liz on our team–thank you so much for all your contributions to FedUp!! Please join us in wishing her all the best as she enters this new chapter.

Check out our full summer programming schedule, including our meal program, WashUp, and other events! We have added a free meal at the Peace HUB Community Resource Center (1515 S Harris Rd., Ypsilanti, MI 48197) every Thursday from 3:30pm - 5:30pm. Hope to see you all this summer!

FedUp had a great time at the Michigan Wine Festival on June 27th! The FedUp team was at The Michigan Firehouse Museum for the Michigan Wine Festival, serving food on a pay-what-you-can model. Thank you for inviting us and for everyone who supported us!

Starting the first week in June, we began our summer meal and Mini Chef Camp programming with Ypsilanti District Library’s Downtown and Superior Library branches. The turnout and support have been wonderful, with nearly 700 meals served during our Tuesday and Thursday meal services, and up to 20 kids across our Mini Chef Camp sessions!

On July 7th, we held our first Mini Chef Camp session of the summer with Educate Youth, where participants learned basic cooking skills while celebrating Taco Tuesday! Thanks to those who came, and to Educate Youth for their continued support of FedUp through the years!

Don’t forget that we still have WashUp going on all throughout the summer on Wednesdays in both Ann Arbor AND Ypsilanti!

Spread the word and share this flier!

Ann Arbor: Showers from 10am-12pm at First Baptist Church of Ann Arbor
Ypsilanti: Showers and Laundry from 3:00-5:00pm at First Presbyterian Church of Ypsilanti

If folks are able, please consider donating the following clothing items for our WashUp program! 

• Undershirts (scoopneck shirts  in white, gray, black preferred, size M-XL). 
• Underwear (mens and women’s cuts, size M-XL). 
• Bras (any size)
• Socks (ankle and quarter)
• Pants and/or socks (any size)

Bras and Pants that are gently used and clean are acceptable as well — all other undergarments and socks MUST be new! Other items we are seeking for the program include traffic cones (training cones are acceptable as well, but traffic cones are ideal), a tabling tent, and a walker and/or cane for a community member in need of one.

These donations will allow us to continue running WashUp and provide resources that meet community needs. Contact us on our social media or email info@fedupministries.org if you have any donations. Thank you for all your support!

Last year, we were fortunate to be selected as a recipient of their 2025 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) Program Grant. Through this, we have been able to fund our meal program, compostable, sustainable supplies, and cover the staffing and salary costs necessary for our organization to run and continue to serve our community. Thank you so much to the folks at Trinity Health-Ann Arbor & Livingston for their continued support–our work would not be possible without you!

Due to the air quality concerns from the recent Canadian wildfires, Spirit of Christ Lutheran Church (749 W 14 Mile Rd., Clawson, MI 48107) has rescheduled their 2nd Annual Putt Putt Against Hunger event to August 2nd. We will be there with our food truck, where guests were able to pay whatever they were able, whether it be $1, $5, $10, or another amount.

Ticket for entry to the event is any amount you can give or non-perishable food items. Thanks Spirit of Christ Lutheran Church for inviting us out for this great cause!

For folks able, we would also love to have volunteers come out with us for this event! Sign up using the link below if interested.

Due to the air quality concerns from the recent Canadian wildfires, organizers of Ypsi Pride rescheduled the event for Sunday, August 30th from 12-10pm. FedUp will still be serving food to volunteers in Depot Town at Pride! Looking forward to seeing you all there.

These things have I spoken unto you,

that my joy might remain in you,

and that your joy might be full.

John 15:11 KJV
