GREAT JOB!

Thank you for raising nearly 2,500 pounds of food for our hungry neighbors!

Everyone is a winner!

With continuing poor economic conditions in Michigan, Gleaners must rely more and more on the generosity of our community to fill our shelves with food. Participation in the Food Fight provides students with hands-on learning about community service. The Food Fight promotes teamwork and cooperation, as students work together to achieve a significant goal. Of course, bragging rights for the winning school are priceless too!

Listen to 104.3 WOMC Radio for winners!

They will be announcing results from the High School Food Fight on air, so be sure to tune in!

If you are unable to participate in the Food Fight at this time, please consider holding a food drive at a different time of the year. Childhood hunger knows no season.

For more information, please contact Stephanie Melnick at smelnick@gcfb.org or 866-GLEANER, ext 270.
