Support Materials

CARES food services are available to individuals and families who live in Farmington, Farmington Hills, Livonia, Northville, Novi, West Bloomfield, Redford, and Southfield.

Guests can visit the CARES pantry once per month and must have an appointment. Anyone arriving without an appointment cannot be served. Appointments can be set by calling 248-474-8231 on 9:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. We are experiencing a large volume of incoming calls at this difficult time. Please leave a message and we will return your call as soon as possible. Unfortunately, individuals arriving without an appointment, though we wish to assist them, cannot be accommodated during their unplanned visit.

For those residing outside the CARES service area or seeking additional services beyond what we provide, we understand your need for further assistance. Below, we’ve curated a list of resources that might be of help to you. While these may not be directly affiliated with CARES, they offer valuable support and services that could meet your needs during this time. Your patience is sincerely appreciated. Your well-being and access to assistance remain our priority, and we hope these additional resources can offer the support you require.
