Nonprofit Spotlight
During November and December our Nonprofit Spotlight is on Food Gatherers!
Food Gatherers exists to alleviate hunger and eliminate its causes in our community.
In Washtenaw County, food insecurity is affecting more individuals than we’ve seen in over a decade. 1 in 7 of our neighbors may not have sufficient nutritious food to live a healthy life. At Food Gatherers, they believe that food is a basic human right and are distributing record amounts of food.
Since donated food stays fairly static year after year (around 50% of our total food sourcing) and federal resources have decreased, Food Gatherers is purchasing more food than ever at higher costs to keep pace with the elevated need. They are grateful for the support of this amazing community, which makes it possible to sustain and grow their programs in times of greater need.
