  3. Community High Fights Hunger 2020
  4. Hunscher-Young Forum
Food Gatherers is the food bank and food rescue serving Washtenaw County. Every fall, Community High School students join together and raise funds to help provide food to our neighbors who rely on local emergency pantries, meal programs and other distributions of healthy food to feed themselves and their families.

This year, the need in our community is greater than ever: food insecurity jumped in March and is projected to continue rising through 2020. Since March, more than 40% of visitors to our network of food pantries report that they are utilizing food assistance for the first time ever.  

Donations made to Community High School's campaign will provide healthy food to children, families, adults, and seniors in our community, and thanks to a generous matching pledge from the Harold and Kay Peplau Family Fund, your donations will be matched dollar for dollar up to $50,000.  

To give now, click on DONATE. Or, if you prefer, you can call us at 734-761-2796 (press option 2) to donate over the phone, or send a check made out to Food Gatherers (please write "Community High" in the memo line so your gift will be matched) 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.

    Our son has been a recipient of Food Gathers for at least 4 years. There support has allowed him to sustain a healthy lifestyle and assures him that food will be on his table. We're deeply grateful for all their support and help for him.
