It’s fall and that means it’s time for our annual Forgotten Harvest Fundraiser. We take this event very seriously. Why?
We live in a country of plenty. Most of us cannot imagine not having enough food to feed our families. Consider for a moment what we waste: the outdated food in our pantries, the fresh veggies that spoil before we can eat them, the crops that rot on the vine, the meals from restaurants that never get eaten etc. You can easily see that we have plenty of food! No person, not one, should suffer from hunger.
Forgotten Harvest’s Mission
is to provide nutritious food to the hungry AND to rescue nutritious food, preventing it from being wasted. They operate in the greater metro Detroit area, serving Wayne, Oakland and Macomb Counties. What do they do? Wrap your mind around this:
- Their dedicate drivers cover 2,000 miles each day delivering food to 250 agencies, who then get the food to those in need.
- They deliver 3.75M pounds of rescued food each month! What this really means is that 1 pound of food is equivalent to 1 meal. This translates to 45M meals each year.
Feel inspired knowing your actions make a difference.
