Who We Serve

Ste. Anne Pantry serving zip code 48216

The 48216 zip code served by the pantry at Ste. Anne is a population where less than 60% of residents have a high school diploma and 32% of residents are disabled. In 2000, the median household income was $24,079 and nearly 40% of residents lived below the poverty line. Many more residents now live in poverty, as the availability of low-skill manufacturing, labor and construction jobs has dramatically decreased in the present economic recession. The need for food in this zip code has always been great and is growing still greater.

 

The St Stephen Pantry at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church

The pantry is staffed by volunteers from the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, DTE and pantry users who wish to ‘give-back’ to the community. The number of households seeking assistance has risen from 25 households each week in the first months of operation in 2008 to over 80 households per week including nearly 400 individuals in the past few months. This growing number of persons utilizing the pantry reflects the plight of the poor in Detroit.
