HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) – The Michigan Harvest Gathering (MHG) is an annual State-wide Campaign that raises food and funds for Michigan’s emergency food response.
Secretary of State (SOS) offices throughout Michigan are collecting food donations. Drop off non-expired, non perishable items for Michigan Harvest Gathering.
Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson says in the past five years the branches have been able to collect over 30 tons of food which has provided 50,000 meals for those in need. ” I’ve also been through the warehouse where they take the food and disperse it.I’ve met some of the people that this program has really helped. It’s just a good thing because you know it’s working properly and it’s helping people who are really in need.”
Johnson also says in the past five years the branches have been able to collect over 30 tons of food which has provided 50,000 meals for those in need.
Michigan Harvest Gathering says 16% of households are struggling to put food on the table and 21% of children do not know where their next meal will come from.
You can bring your donations to any SOS office until November 23. Monetary donations are also accepted.
