Donate Food
- Food
Gatherers needs more food to meet the increasing need in our
community
As reported
in the Ann Arbor News (8-5-07 article),
our food supplies cannot keep up with the increasing requests
from our partner agencies on the front lines of hunger relief.
Despite
bringing in more food than ever through our food rescue program,
we've doubled our food purchasing during this year compared
to last year.
- How can you help?
- donate non-perishable
canned and dry goods that are unopened, in good condition
and not expired. Any item is appreciated, but we have
many requests for high-protein items, cereal, kid-friendly
foods, baby formula, soups, stews, canned meat/fish
- donate fresh produce
(purchased or from your own garden)
- donate unopened dairy
products that are within 3 days past the "sell by"
date and that have been kept at the proper temperature
at all times
- donate unopened frozen
meat products that have been frozen before their "sell
by" date and that are less than 4 months old (having
been kept frozen the whole time)
- No time to bring food? Food Gatherers
can purchase food with your monetary donation. For more
