Your Support Fuels Gleaners' Programs for Kids
The Emergency Food Partner Network
Gleaners provides nutritious food to nearly 350 partners, including schools, soup kitchens, food pantries, shelters, and others in five counties across Southeast Michigan: Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Livingston, and Monroe. These partners know their local communities well and directly serve our neighbors in need. Many of our partners also host members of Gleaners’ nutrition education team to provide healthy recipe tastings, nutrition education tips, nutritious recipe ideas, and access to virtual content to households.
Community Mobile Food Distributions
Gleaners operates dozens of Community Mobile sites five days a week. These sites offer balanced nutrition – including fresh milk, fruits, vegetables, lean protein and shelf-stable items – with no appointment necessary and built on a “no contact” drive-through model. This program also includes healthy recipe tastings, nutrition education tips, nutritious recipe ideas, and access to virtual content for families and individuals who attend the distributions from Gleaners’ nutrition education team.
