Gleaners Community Food Bank

As one of the oldest food banks in the United States, Gleaners Community Food Bank's mission is to turn surplus food, which otherwise would go to waste, into millions of nutritious meals for hungry people in southeastern Michigan.

For more than 30 years, we've been "nourishing communities by feeding hungry people." Since 1977, Gleaners Community Food Bank has grown from distributing just two million pounds of food a year, to more than 38 pounds annually.
