As the holiday season unfolds, Michigan Central shines as a picturesque backdrop, providing a space for reflection and giving. This year, visitors can contribute to a noble cause while enjoying the festive atmosphere. Gleaners Community Food Bank, in collaboration with Ford Philanthropy, is organizing a donation drive that runs every weekend from now through December 28.
Angela Halverson, Gleaners’ director of community giving, emphasized the importance of community involvement during this season of generosity. She noted that every dollar donated will directly aid Gleaners in providing nutritious meals to families in need within the community. “This is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to help feed our neighbors and make a meaningful impact,” Halverson explained.
Donors can support the cause by dropping off non-perishable food items at designated collection bins set up at Michigan Central. Additionally, those who prefer to give online can easily make monetary contributions to Gleaners’ website. Halverson encourages everyone to contribute, no matter how small the amount, saying, “Every bit counts and can help put food on the table for families this holiday season.”
The holiday spirit is alive at Michigan Central, and with Gleaners leading the way, this initiative is more than just a donation drive; it’s a community effort to ensure that no one goes hungry during the holidays. Whether through food donations or financial support, residents and visitors alike can spread joy and hope to those in need.
