The Detroit Pistons, Wayne County and a coalition of businesses are encouraging others to remember the missions of Forgotten Harvest and other nonprofits struggling to help others during this international crisis.

A $375,000 grant for Forgotten Harvest was announced Thursday and will provide immediate support to the non-profit’s food recovery and distribution efforts in response to COVID-19.

The non-profit estimates that the number of families it services has increased 45 percent since the crisis began; food acquisition and disbursement needs have doubled.

Novi-based Lineage Logistics, the United Dairy Industry of Michigan, Flagstar Bank and AAA The Auto Club Group also support the grant.
