Food Gatherers exists to alleviate hunger and eliminate its causes in its community by reducing food waste through the rescue and distribution of perishable and non-perishable food; coordinating with other hunger relief providers; educating the public about hunger, and developing new food resources.
Food Gatherers is not only Michigan's first food rescue program but the first program of its kind to be founded by a for-profit business, our own Zingerman's Delicatessen.
Founded in 1988, they provide enough food for more than 7,700 meals a day.
Food Gatherers brings the food more than 150 community programs serving their neighbors - mostly families and children, in need of food.
