Co-hosted by Dr. Phil Knight, Executive Director of The Food Bank Council of Michigan, and Gerry Brisson, President and CEO of Gleaners Community Food Bank, Food First features innovative leaders from across our community for a sharing of ideas and solutions that can help us end food insecurity. Dr. Phil and Gerry are tireless advocates, believing that Michigan, the nation’s second most diverse agricultural state, can lead the way and prove that hunger is not better than we are, it is not bigger than we are, and it is not beyond us to solve. In this episode, Dr. Phil delves into Gerry's success - success in changing the conversation surrounding food insecurity and making an impact on the work. Listen here 🎧 https://bit.ly/3zhrJXB

When we mow down hunger, we grow kids’ potential. 💫 🍎 ✏️ “I think it’s good for kids to eat before they come to school because if you’re hungry, you might feel tired or not want to focus,” said Tamiya, a 5th grader. “So, if you have healthy food in the mornings then you can listen to your teacher and pay attention and have a better day. And all kids should have that.” Our generous partners at WEINGARTZ are matching every dollar donated up to 1 million meals, which means you can make twice the impact in helping kids learn, grow, and thrive. https://bit.ly/3LijIV8

Happy National Food Bank Day! 🥕 🚚 📦 🍎 Gleaners is a vital link between available food and our neighbors who need it most. Our efficient system allows us to collect, store, and distribute healthy food with minimal waste through our state-of-the-art distribution center in Wayne County, supported by our distribution center in Livingston County and our headquarters in Detroit. This process allows Gleaners to handle a tremendous volume of donated food and the fresh produce we purchase to ensure our neighbors in need always have access to a variety of nutritious food! We are grateful to work alongside such dedicated and passionate team members, volunteers, partners, and donors in our work to end food insecurity.
