Speak the Difference 5.0- Gleaners
For our 5th Speak the Difference Fundraiser, we made it the best one yet! With the help of businesses, donors, and registrations we were able to donate $48,468 to Gleaners Community Food Bank! This year we added 3 new competitions and we had a great turnout! We would like to thank all our sponsors and donors for supporting us this year! With the help of our new board members (Kanal Patel, Riya Munot, Aparna Reddy., Krish Ghosalkar, and Shaarav Shah), we were able to make this event successful. We supported Gleaners this year because they raised awareness that so many students are hungry in Southeast Michigan. Headquartered in Detroit, Gleaners operates five distribution centers in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Livingston and Monroe counties and provides food to 528 partner soup kitchens, food pantries, shelters, and other agencies throughout southeast Michigan. In 2018, Gleaners distributed more than 43 million pounds of food to neighbors in need! On average, Gleaners distributes 96,000 meals each day including providing nourishing food and nutrition education to 171,000 children a year. Every dollar donated provides three meals and 93 cents of every donated dollar goes to food and food programs. Gleaners is a vital link between available food and those who need it most. Local and national producers have surplus food that may otherwise go to waste for lack of a way to safely and efficiently bring it to market.
