The Elite Sports League has partnered with the Family Service Agency of Mid Michigan to open a Food Pantry in Flint, MI. Located at 1422 W Court Street, the food pantry is designed to provide resources for those in need while also respecting their privacy. It is located outdoors, so anyone who needs the resources can access them discreetly without having to check in.
As part of the Elite Adult League's commitment to community service, all participants in the Men's Flag Football, Men's Basketball, and Adult Softball programs are required to bring one non-perishable item per week they are active on the roster. So far, the Elite Sports League has donated over 5,000 non-perishable food items to the food pantry.
While the Elite Sports League keeps the food pantry stocked, community members are encouraged to contribute non-perishable items as they are able. Donations are always welcome to ensure that the food pantry remains well-stocked and able to meet the needs of the community.
Mission: Breaking the cycle of poverty by targeting programs to break down barriers to education of children; and creating Flint–wide programs that unify families. Our food pantries are located in residential neighborhoods to aid in reducing the effects of the food desert. We keep them stocked but community members are encouraged to fill them as they are able with non-perishable items.
