As the holiday season envelops Michigan, the iconic Michigan Central train station transforms into not just a beautiful backdrop but also a beacon of hope for local families in need. This year, the station is teaming up with Gleaners Community Food Bank and Ford Philanthropy to host a special donation drive, making it easier for the community to give back during this festive time.
The donation drive runs every weekend from now until December 28, inviting everyone to participate in the spirit of giving. Angela Halverson, director of community giving at Gleaners, emphasizes the importance of this initiative and how every dollar donated helps Gleaners provide nutritious meals to our neighbors facing food insecurity.
Visitors to Michigan Central can contribute in two main ways. Donors are welcome to drop off food items at designated collection bins stationed around the train station or choose to make monetary donations online. Each contribution, no matter the size, plays a crucial role in supporting Gleaners’ mission to alleviate hunger in the community.
With the community’s generosity, Gleaners aims to spread joy and nourishment to families throughout the region. As the holiday spirit fills the air, Halverson invites everyone to stop by Michigan Central, enjoy the festive ambiance, and take part in making a positive impact in the lives of those less fortunate.
This holiday season, let’s remember the joy of giving, ensuring that every family can gather around the table and share a meal together.
