Gleaners Community Food Bank exists to provide households with access to sufficient, nutritious food and related resources.

Headquartered in Detroit, Gleaners serves five Southeast Michigan counties: Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Livingston and Monroe. Gleaners provides food to nearly 400 partner soup kitchens, food pantries, shelters, schools and other agencies across the region, and supplements the efforts of those partners by offering direct service drive-up grocery distributions. Gleaners further empowers households with food programs and education to help overcome food insecurity. Every dollar donated provides three meals, and 92 percent of our expenses directly support our neighbors facing hunger.  

**Food Donations and Surplus:** Gleaners has developed a very efficient, technologically advanced system to collect, store, and distribute food with very little 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, as well as the fresh produce we purchase, to ensure our communities have access to a variety of healthy, nutritious food. 

**Partner Agencies:** Gleaners is devoted to getting surplus food and donated items directly to our partners, saving their organizations time and money so they can focus on better serving their communities. Together, we are increasing the amount of vital, emergency food available to our neighbors facing food insecurity and building capacity for service organizations to make an even greater impact toward solving hunger. 

**Mobile Food Distributions:** Gleaners also hosts direct-service, mobile distributions strategically located throughout our service area to supplement our partner network. These sites, operating on a rotating basis five days per week offer balanced nutrition – including fresh milk, vegetables, fruit, whole grains, lean protein and shelf-stable items – with no appointment necessary, built on a “no-contact,” drive-through model.

Zaman International - Hope for Humanity

The MANY is a fully volunteer-run organization dedicated to helping our most marginalized community members.

WHO ARE WE?
We are a collective of community organizers structured as a worker self-directed 501(c)3 nonprofit.

WHAT ARE WE DOING?
Creating survival programs for our most marginalized community members while building alternative systems to move our community towards economic cooperation, self-determination and abundance.

HOW ARE WE DOING IT?
Our methodology is one of mutual aid and solidarity – meaning we are working and struggling with our neighbors and community instead of taking the conventional “top down” charity approach that replicates the systems of inequality and contributes to the very poverty and scarcity that we are fighting against. We aim to accomplish this by inviting the community into this work, sharing our access and privilege and building solutions together.
