11/18/13 - Local officials have estimated there will be approximately 1,000 families in the Livingston County area that need help to put a holiday meal on the table. The Gleaners Community Food Bank and WHMI have teamed up to help fill that gap by encouraging residents to donate $20, the approximate cost of a holiday meal for a family of four, from now until Thanksgiving in our annual 12 Days of Gleaners. But today of all days may be the best to make donation because the Ford Motor Company is matching dollar for dollar all donations made to Gleaners today. Ann Schenk is Gleaners Vice President of Marketing and Communications and tells WHMI that because of their ability to buy food in bulk, the very best to help is through monetary donations, although food donations are also welcome at their Genoa Township pantry location at 5924 Sterling Drive, off of Dorr Road. You can find details and donation options through the link below. (JK)
