As we did last year, Paragon Sight & Sound is partnering with Food Gatherers to make an end-of-year contribution to help end hunger and its causes in our community.
Food Gatherers was established in 1988 as Michigan's first food rescue program. Today, Food Gatherers is an independent 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization governed by a board of directors and operated by 36 staff people and 4,000 volunteers. In Fiscal Year 2024, Food Gatherers distributed 9.9 million pounds of food — the equivalent of 8.2 million meals — through their network of partner programs. This was a significant increase from their pre-pandemic levels as more people in Washtenaw county struggle with food insecurity.
Our virtual fundraiser will run through December 31st. If you're not able to donate, please consider sharing our campaign to help spread the word. We wish you all a safe & happy holiday season!
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.
