Detroit, MI – This holiday season, the historic Michigan Central train station is transforming into a central hub of generosity and giving, thanks to the collaboration between Gleaners Community Food Bank and Ford Philanthropy. Angela Halverson, the director of community giving at Gleaners, shared how the drive aims to feed families in need during the festive season.
The beautiful backdrop of Michigan Central during the holidays is now enhanced with a meaningful mission. From now until December 28, the train station will host a weekend donation drive that invites the public to give back to the community. Gleaners, a vital resource for families facing food insecurity, is spearheading this initiative to ensure that all families can enjoy a nutritious meal during the holiday season.
“We want to encourage everyone to come visit the train station and contribute to this important cause,” Halverson said. Every dollar donated will go towards providing nutritious meals to our neighbors in need. Donors have the option to drop off non-perishable food items at designated collection bins at the station or donate money to Gleaners online.
This year, the partnership not only beautifies the heart of Detroit but also reflects the spirit of community. With the need for food resources more critical than ever, Gleaners and Michigan Central are urging individuals and families to come together and make a difference during this holiday season.
Every gesture of kindness counts, and through this initiative, giving back has never been more accessible.
