Support the network

Help good food keep moving

Donors reorganize. Grant cycles end. What carries this network through change is the coordination behind it—the partnerships, communication and regional support that help it reach more donors, serve more agencies and keep food rescue dependable. A near-term priority is hiring a part-time coordinator to maintain those connections and provide consistent support as the network grows. Your gift helps make that continuity possible, sustaining fresh food rescue and strengthening our community's resilience for years to come.

Gifts are tax-deductible through our fiscal sponsor, the Michigan Recycling Coalition.
