Corporate Volunteering

GCFB CorpVolunteeringPage

Volunteering at Gleaners is not just a team-building activity, it's an opportunity to make a tangible difference in our community. Gleaners relies on dedicated volunteers to pack boxes, sort produce and canned goods, and repack bulk products into family-sized portions. This vital work happens five days a week at our South Campus Distribution Center in Taylor.

By volunteering, you help ensure that kids, families, seniors, and veterans receive the nutritious food they need. Your generous donation of time and energy directly supports our mission to solve hunger and bring hope to Southeast Michigan. Join us in making a meaningful impact.

Please check out our Volunteer Center for current opportunities or contact Julie Ptasznik at jptasznik@gcfb.org.
