Hunger Free Summer
No child should go without the food they need to grow healthy and strong.
Today, your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar by Charter One Foundation and other generous donors, providing six meals per dollar for children who are at risk of hunger and malnutrition while school is out this summer.
Gleaners Virtual Food Drive
Shop Here, Give More, and Feed Others!
With a demand at an all-time high, Gleaners has to purchase more food than ever in order to meet the needs of our 550 food pantries, soup kitchens and community agencies.
Virtual Food Drives can be done from your computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone, and your dollar goes further due to our bulk purchasing power and efficient distribution network. Learn more →-
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
