HANCOCK — To help support nutritional well-being across the Copper Country, Copper Shores Community Health Foundation has partnered with Feeding America West Michigan to co-sponsor mobile food pantry deliveries in Calumet, Chassell and Ontonagon throughout early 2026.

According to a Copper Shores press release, Mobile food pantries provide a variety of food, including fresh produce and dairy products, all at no cost to community members. Attendees will only need to provide basic contact information and affirm a need for food; identification or proof of income are not required. Food is distributed in a drive-through format, with each delivery serving approximately 300 families.
