Let’s Make This the Biggest Spice Drive Yet!
A good meal is about more than just having enough food. It’s about flavor, comfort, culture and the little things that make a meal feel like home.
That’s why Forgotten Harvest is once again teaming up with Chef Shobe for the 7th Annual Chef Shobe’s Spice Drive!
From October 1 through October 31st, we’re collecting new, unused bottles of spices to help bring a little more flavor to the tables of the neighbors, just in time for Thanksgiving.
And this year, we’re going BIGGER.
A Little Spice Goes a Long Way
Spices may be small, but their impact can be big.
A bottle of garlic powder, cinnamon, black pepper, paprika or your favorite seasoning can help turn everyday ingredients into a meal that is comforting and full of flavor.
Because everyone deserves the opportunity to enjoy food that tastes good and feels like home.
How You Can Spice Things Up

Can’t make it to a drop-off location? No problem!
A monetary donation can help us purchase spices to distribute through Forgotten Harvest’s network of partner agencies.
Spread the Word
One of the easiest ways to help is to tell someone else about the Spice Drive!
Share this page, tag a friend, post about your donation or encourage your workplace, school, neighborhood or community group to start collecting.
The more people who know, the more flavor we can share.
Why Spices Matter
Food insecurity isn’t just about having enough food. Having access to flavorful ingredients can help people make the most of the food they have, create meals that reflect their culture and traditions, and bring a little joy to the dinner table.
Spices can help transform rescued and donated food into something truly special.
Let’s Beat Last Year!
Whether you donate one bottle, $5, a whole box of spices or help spread the word, you make this drive successful. Every action counts.
And together, we can make this the biggest, boldest and most flavorful Chef Shobe’s Spice Drive yet!
Let’s spice up the season and help make the holiday season a little more flavorful for our neighbors across Metro Detroit.
