6 GROUNDCOVER NEWS EMPLOYMENT Give it up for FedUp! question: What is your favorite thing about working or volunteering for Fed Up Ministries? And everybody had the same answer: the community they serve. I interviewed Kimberly Sells and MIKE JONES Groundcover vendor No. 113 Let’s give it up for FedUp Ministries: they’ve been putting in work throughout Washtenaw County. From Ann Arbor to Ypsilanti, they have been feeding low-income and homeless people, not only food to sustain life, but also food for thought and spiritual growth, while also providing employment and volunteering opportunities in our community. I want to give a shoutout to a few of the many wonderful people that make FedUp happen: Pastor of Zion Lutheran Church Rev. Anna Taylor-McCants, kitchen team leader Corey Fuller, volunteer Kimberly Sells, kitchen staff Todd Crawley, kitchen staff Brandy Hill, and volunteers Marissa Moore and Phil Huhn. I had a chance to talk to my friends at Liberty Plaza in downtown Ann Arbor, and I asked them all the same Marissa Moore who are college interns. Sells, who has volunteered for one year and now has finished up her internship and is a recent graduate, is moving out of state to further her career and continue to be involved in communities such as this one. Moore is now on her third week of volunteering and will be continuing for a year also. She said she enjoys interacting with the community and the environment Fed Up Ministries provides. As usual on Wednesdays, you can find the big food truck at Liberty Plaza in Ann Arbor at noon and the Ypsilanti Transit Center at 1:30pm. But now the community can also find the big food truck at the Ypsilanti Marketplace every Thursday morning at 10 a.m. for breakfast. Heads up — FedUp Ministries announced mobile showers and laundry units for those in need at the Ypsilanti Farmers Market location every Thursday morning. Come to any one of these three locations to enjoy the food, community and more. Top: Chandra takes the mic at FedUp's Thursday morning worship breakfast.
