DTE Energy Garden Project
In 2008, Gleaners and DTE Energy launched two pilot gardens to help grow food for our hungry neighbors on buffer land surrounding Detroit Edison substations. The program, which yielded over 5,000 pounds of produce for Gleaners with the help of more than 250 volunteers, has expanded to eight sites across southeastern Michigan this year, but we need your help.

Urge your legislators to restore funding for the Michigan Agricultural Surplus System
Since 1990, the Michigan Department of Agriculture has provided funds to purchase, process and distribute surplus produce from Michigan farmers and make it available to Michigan citizens facing hunger. Due to state budget cuts, the MASS program faces elimination. We need your help to restore funding for this important program.
