Providing Help and Hope
In 2024, Gleaners' generous donors, volunteers, and partner agencies worked together to help us serve more than 1 million households across Southeast Michigan.
As we reflect on this incredible year, we’re excited to share the lasting impact our community made for neighbors facing hunger.
Neighbors Helping Neighbors
In 2024, Gleaners' volunteers completed more than 25,000 shifts, totaling over 54,000 hours. That's the equivalent of working around the clock for 2,250 days straight.
Our volunteers make a direct and meaningful impact on neighbors facing hunger by helping pack and distribute food and milk, plant and harvest vegetable gardens, facilitate cooking classes, and more!
Nutrition Education Reached 225,000+ Neighbors
In 2024, Gleaners' Nutrition Education team reached more than 225,000 neighbors, empowering them to make food-related choices that support overall health & well-being.
Programming includes classes that focus on how to shop for and prepare nutritious foods at low cost, distribution of resources such as healthy recipes, cooking demonstration videos and assistance with SNAP benefits, as well as support for our pantry partners to meet the nutrition, health, and cultural needs of those they serve. All programs are tailored to meet the needs of our diverse community.
Food & Fund Drives
This year, Gleaners' partners hosted more than 650 Food and Fund Drives. Schools, businesses, houses of worship, and community groups helped bring in critical funds and food supplies that supported Gleaners' mission to solve hunger in Southeast Michigan and nourish the lives of our neighbors.
Help us carry this momentum into the new year by signing up to start your own food or fund drive today!
