Honoring a Legacy, Nourishing Community 

Many older adults in our community face barriers to food access, from fixed incomes to lack of transportation. On top of that, financial pressures like medication and utilities can make it difficult to afford nutritious meals.  

Your donation to Gleaners will provide seniors access to the healthy food they need—and thanks to the Harold & Kay Matching Gift Fund, your gift will go twice as far. During the month of March, every dollar you give will be matched, up to $100,000, providing twice as many meals for senior neighbors like Gregory.

How Your Gift Helps Seniors 

Your support helps Gleaners bridge the gap for seniors by providing: 

  • Senior Food Mobile Distributions – Monthly deliveries of 40 pounds of nutritious food to seniors at local senior living communities—so they don’t have to travel far to get the food they need. 
  • Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) – Nutritious, USDA-approved food boxes provided to more than 1,400 seniors every month, available at designated partner pick-up locations or delivered directly to their homes. 
  • Nutrition Education – Cooking classes, recipes, and resources to help seniors prepare affordable, healthy meals at home. 

A Legacy of Support for Neighbors Facing Hunger  

Harold and Kay grew up during the Great Depression and understood what it meant to go without. Their compassion and generosity led them to establish a fund to ensure seniors in our community have access to nutritious food like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and milk. 

Their legacy lives on through this campaign—helping ensure our senior neighbors don’t have to choose between food and other necessities. 

Join us in honoring Harold and Kay by giving today. Your matched gift will bring comfort, nourishment, and hope to seniors across Southeast Michigan.
