Gleaners Community Food Bank is a vital link between available food and those who need it most. Local and national food producers often have surplus products that go to waste for lack of a way to safely and efficiently bring it to market. Gleaners has developed a very efficient, technologically advanced system to collect, store, and distribute food with very little waste through a state-of-the-art distribution center in Wayne County, supported by a distribution center in Livingston County and their headquarters in Detroit. This process allows Gleaners to handle a tremendous volume of donated food, as well as the fresh produce we purchase, to ensure our communities have access to a variety of healthy, nutritious food.
