Make a difference in someone’s life today.

Forgotten Harvest is Michigan’s largest food rescue organization. Last year alone, we rescued over 40 million pounds of fresh, excess food from grocery stores, restaurants, farmers, and more to deliver free of charge to our neighbors in need.

At this time, more than half a million people in metro Detroit are facing hunger. Of these, close to 180,000 are children. Your gift today helps provide crucial nutrition for our neighbors in need through direct meal programs that increase access to fresh food throughout metro Detroit.

Together, we can help provide the Right Food, at the Right Place, in the Right Quantity, and at the Right Time.

Thank you for helping us feed our community.

We also have many other ways to give.

Impact of your donation

We want to hear from you..

People support Forgotten Harvest for a variety of reasons.

Some of our donors may support us because they own a restaurant. Others mention that they give in honor of their grandma who always fed the homeless in her community. Still others donate because they want to make sure the “extra” food from their local grocery store goes to those who need it.

We’d love to hear YOUR story–it might help us find other supporters like you!

We are grateful for the generous support of our community which sustains Forgotten Harvest as we boldly pursue our mission to relieve hunger in metro Detroit by rescuing and redistributing surplus food. If you have any questions, please read the FAQs.
