Thank You Food Gatherers!

Giving Tuesday 2022
Save the date! Giving Tuesday 2022 is on November 29th. Our goal is to raise $5,000 to get a donation match from EMU Student Government. Stay tuned and we will share more information soon!

Daily Average Visits has Nearly Doubled!

Compared to September 2021, Swoop's has experienced an 88% increase in daily average visits. We have distributed 13,669 pounds this September, compared to 7,635 pounds in September 2021.
