The Rotary Fights Summer Hunger project provides foods for lower income children who receive subsidized school lunches during the school year, enabling them to stay fed through the summer. This year’s drive is March 4th – 15th, and our ambitious goal is to provide 60,000 meals. Our hard-working committee will deploy over 150 collection boxes at various locations throughout Washtenaw County. For the sixth year in a row, all cash donations of $25 of more received during the drive will be matched dollar for dollar through generous community supporters. Tax-deductible cash donations may be made online at www.foodgatherers.org/rotary or by check at the Rotary Shares table. Please give generously to this very important project!During this drive, Food Gatherers is able to maximize your gift:$10 = 30 meals$25 =

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.
