Food Gatherers will host their biggest annual fundraiser, Rockin’ for the Hungry, from November 30 through December 4, virtually to raise 1 million meals for people facing hunger. Community members can join by tuning in to 107.1 FM for interviews with community leaders, donor-sponsored power hours and updates. In addition, there will be a one-day, in-person food drive for donations of nonperishable food and funds at Kroger locations from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., December 4, on Maple Road, Whittaker Road and Plymouth Road.

            Eileen Spring, president and CEO of Food Gatherers, says, “The need for food remains elevated in our community and many of our neighbors rely on Food Gatherers and our network of pantries and programs to make ends meet. The pandemic created a perfect storm of operational challenges and increased need for food banks and food pantries everywhere. Even as the economy opens back up, we expect our elevated response will be in place for the next 18 to 24 months. Donations made during Rockin’ will provide nutritious groceries and meals to anyone in need in our community, all year long.”
