Rockin’ For The Hungry

HELP FIGHT HUNGER WHERE WE LIVE

Join us for the 30th annual Rockin’ For The Hungry food and fund drive November 27th-December 2nd!

Every day, thousands of people in Washtenaw County rely on Food Gatherers, the area’s largest food rescue and collection organization. Each year they distribute more than 6 million pounds of food to over 150 local non-profit organizations, and see to it that our neighbors in need, mostly families and children, won’t go hungry.

We’ll kick off Rockin’ with a special #GivingTuesday broadcast on November 27th with Martin Bandyke at the Traver Village Kroger, 2641 Plymouth Road from 6 am-10 am. For every gift of $15 or more, Kroger will give you a $5 gift card!

Then we’ll be Rockin’ the main event at Kroger, 400 South Maple Road Wednesday, November 28th-Sunday, December 2nd.   

Stop by, and help us reach our goal of 1 MILLION MEALS! 

All gifts collected at Rockin’ go directly to our friends at Food Gatherers, and will benefit those in need right here in Washtenaw County.
