For the 15th year, Community High School students will join together this fall to raise funds to help alleviate hunger in our community. Inspired by the fundraising drive and creativity of these students and their teachers, Friends of Community High is launching this initiative for members of the community to magnify the impact on health and well being in Washtenaw County. Let's show Community High that we recognize their hard work and valuable contribution by matching their fundraising achievements.Food Gatherers is the food bank and food rescue organization serving Washtenaw County. As the hub for hunger relief, Food Gatherers provides food to our neighbors through a broad network of partners including pantries, churches, schools, senior communities and more. When you provide financial support to Food Gatherers, you help us distribute food across the county's service community so that partners like Ozone House and Peace Neighborhood have more resources to use on shelter, counseling and other services.The cost of living - especially groceries - remains high. For households that are struggling to make ends meet this has made life even more difficult. As a result, Food Gatherers’ partner food pantries have seen an increase in visits over the past year.
Donations made to the Friends of Community High campaign will provide healthy food to children, families, adults, and seniors in our community.
To give now, click on DONATE. Or, if you prefer, you can call us to donate at 734-761-2796 (press option 2), or send a check made out to Food Gatherers (please write "Friends of CHS" in the memo line) to P.O. Box 131037, Ann Arbor, MI 48113.

In Support of Food Gatherers
Our Mission: Food Gatherers exists to alleviate hunger and eliminate its causes in our community.
We rescue local food and leverage state and national food resources for hunger relief. We lead a network of hunger relief providers and engage the public in the fight against hunger. We create and sustain innovative new food programs in response to emerging needs. We recognize that hunger will not be solved through the provision of food alone, so we advocate for policies and system changes to create an equitable food system.
