submitted by Dani Wyman, Food Gatherers

In response to increasing food insecurity in the community, Food Gatherers is hosting emergency drive-through food distributions to assist Washtenaw County residents. Each distribution will provide free food to anyone who requires assistance. Food will include a box of shelf-stable items, fresh milk, and produce. No registration is required to receive food, and all are welcome.

The distribution will take place at 100 Briarwood Cir, Ann Arbor (southwest corner of lot), from 9:30am to 11:30am, on three separate days: Wednesday, November 12; Saturday, November 15; and Wednesday, November 19.

“There is uncertainty and anxiety regarding access to food right now,” said Eileen Spring, CEO of Food Gatherers. “Food Gatherers and our distribution partners will be here for our neighbors.”

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
