Spring into Action

Gleaners Virtual Food Drive

Spring has sprung, but in order for kids to have the energy to enjoy the great outdoors, they need healthy food. At least 40% of the people Gleaners serves are children. More than 315,000 children in SE Michigan receive school meals. On the weekends, they often go without food. Hungry kids have less of a chance at living healthy and successful lives. Studies show that hungry children do not perform as well in school and are more prone to behavioral or psychological problems.

That’s why Gleaners need you to Spring into Action and help us provide the food these growing children need.
