A Message from Board chair walt young

s we endure the cold of a Michigan winter, we at Gleaners are active in making change happen! While we are proud of our past, we are even more excited A about our future. Let’s review the people we have touched in the past year: Nearly 252,000 children reached through food and education programs; more than 4,000 families graduated from Gleaners’ Cooking Matters classes; more than 48,000 volunteers served over 144,000 hours — making us very efficient; more than 48,000 donors contributed to help their neighbors; over 550 partner agencies engaged across our five county service area, helping us distribute over 95,000 meals each day. These are great accomplishments that your support made possible.

But we are always looking ahead on how we can further improve. Change, like spring, is in the air. As we continue to explore new ways to end hunger in our community, our approach has broadened from providing short-term, emergency food to providing longer-term solutions to help people provide for themselves.

For the shorter-term goal of providing healthy, emergency food, we are pursuing new food sources and distribution methods. We are analyzing every aspect of our food supply chain to see how to further improve our effectiveness and efficiencies. With our emphasis on reaching children, we continue to grow our Hunger Free Summer and holiday programs, increasing hunger awareness and food distribution at times when kids are at greatest risk of going hungry.

At the same time, we are increasingly focused on growing our longer-term programs to elevate community health. We are helping people learn how to sustain themselves so they needn’t rely on emergency food.

Gleaners is working to make the long-term future of our community brighter. Change is not only movement, it is improvement.

Walt Young, Board Chair
