Michigan Food Pantries

Tis the season when thoughts turn to providing those less fortunate with food for the holidays and into the new year.

Here at MHGL, we have been diligently working to add the many local food pantries throughout Michigan to the database. Most food pantries have limited days and times when they are available to provide services. To find a food pantry near you, search for the service term "Food Programs", then limit by geographical area.

If you have any comments or suggestions for organizations that you would like to see included in Michigan Health Go Local, please email us at migolocal@wayne.edu.

Michigan Acupuncturists

Michigan Health Go Local database now includes Acupuncturists. Since the State of Michigan does not yet require Acupuncturists to be licensed, practitioner credentials include either licensing in a state that does require a license to practice or certification through the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). According to their website, NCCAOM is a non-profit organization whose "mission is to establish, assess, and promote recognized standards of competence and safety in acupuncture and Oriental medicine for the protection and benefit of the public." "NCCAOM Certification indicates to employers, patients, and peers that the practitioner has met national standards for the safe and competent practice of acupuncture as defined by the profession."
