Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan

As the third-oldest food bank in the United States, Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan's mission has been to turn surplus food, which otherwise would go to waste, into millions of delicious meals for hungry people in southeastern Michigan. Since 1977, Gleaners Community Food Bank has grown from distributing just one or two million pounds of food a year to nearly 25 million pounds annually, equivalent to 65,000 meals per day. Gleaners fulfills its role with a sense of compassion and urgency, recognizing that in many instances, it is the only source of emergency food for persons in need. Gleaners collects, warehouses, repacks and distributes in excess of 27 million pounds of food each year for over 400 local agencies in southeastern Michigan. GCFB is a vital link between available food and those who need it the most. GCFB is a member of Feeding America, Food Bank Council of Michigan & United Way for Southeastern Michigan.
