How to Help
With your support, we can relieve hunger in Metro Detroit and prevent nutritious food waste.
When just $10 provides $70 worth of groceries to those in need, no contribution is too small to help.
From our farm to your office, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved and lend a hand.
Food donors and agency distributors are essential in helping us feed hungry communities.
