Angela Halverson, the director of community giving at Gleaners Community Food Bank, has announced an important initiative that aims to brighten the holidays for families in need across the region. In partnership with Michigan Central and Ford Philanthropy, Gleaners is hosting a donation drive every weekend from now until December 28.
The Michigan Central train station, already a stunning backdrop during the holiday season, will serve as the venue for this charitable event. Visitors are not only encouraged to enjoy the festive environment, but also to give back to those in need within the community.
“Every dollar you donate goes directly towards providing nutritious meals to our neighbors who are struggling,” Halverson emphasized. The need for support is greater than ever, and Gleaners is hopeful that the community will come together to help make a difference.
Supporters can easily participate in the donation drive by dropping off food items at collection bins placed throughout Michigan Central. Alternatively, individuals can contribute financially by donating online, giving them the flexibility to support Gleaners from the comfort of their homes.
Halverson highlighted that each contribution, no matter the size, can help ensure that families have access to healthy meals during the holiday season. She expressed her gratitude for the ongoing support from the community and urged everyone to participate in this initiative to help feed local families in need.
Whether through monetary donations or food items, every effort counts in making this holiday season a brighter one for many.
