Benefiting Gleaners Food Bank
It's that time of year again! When we bring everyone together to help feed our community. Last years "Fill the Skids Feed the Kids" campaign raised 4,368 pounds of food and $53,00.00 in cash with 6 year total donations of 26,368 pounds of food and $149,000.00 cash!
Times are still bad in our industry, and there are a lot of people in our community that are struggling to eat a descent meal. Let's make a bigger difference this year!
About Gleaners
As the third-oldest food bank in the United States, Gleaners Community Food Bank's mission has been to turn surplus food, which otherwise would go to waste, into millions of delicious meals for hungry people in southeastern Michigan. For more than a quarter of a century we've been "nourishing communities by feeding hungry people". Since 1977, Gleaners Community Food Bank has grown from distributing just one or two million pounds of food a year to nearly 25 million pounds annually, equivalent to 65,000 meals per day. www.gcfb.org
