  3. Kate & Matt's Wedding
  • We are lucky to live in a community with an organization like Food Gatherers - the food bank and food rescue program serving Washtenaw County. Food Gatherers partners with a network of hunger-relief partners that includes agencies and programs providing direct food assistance through schools, clinics, low-income housing complexes, shelters, counseling programs, and faith-based organizations - to name a few! By providing free or very low-cost food to their partners, Food Gatherers enables them to serve their communities and direct their own funds toward the vital human services they provide.

    Food Gatherers purchases bulk food to help fill the gaps in high-demand items that are not donated regularly, including dairy and meat. They can purchase food at lower prices, turning donated dollars into more meals.

    Fun fact: Kate worked for Food Gatherers from 2010-2016 and can say with 100% confidence that your funds will be put to great use by equally great people!

    To make a donation please click on DONATE or if you prefer, you may also give by calling 734-761-2796 or mailing a check (made out to Food Gatherers with "Kate & Matt" on the memo line) to PO 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.
