The Detroit Tigers and Trader Joe's Strike Out Hunger!
This season, every time a Detroit Tigers pitcher throws a strikeout, Trader Joe's, in partnership with the Detroit Tigers Foundation, will make a donation of $20 to Gleaners Community Food Bank to help feed hungry families in southeast Michigan.
For more than 35 years, Gleaners Community Food Bank has been "nourishing communities by feeding hungry people.” Last year, Gleaners distributed 46 million pounds of emergency food to more than 550 partner soup kitchens, shelters and pantries in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Livingston and Monroe counties. We alleviate hunger by providing the equivalent of more than 100,000 meals per day to people who otherwise cannot afford the food they need. Support Gleaners at these upcoming events
