Why this matters in The Detroit
The work of Forgotten Harvest and its partner agencies is a crucial lifeline for many Detroit residents struggling to put food on the table. With inflation driving up prices, the need for these services is more pressing than ever. The fact that 600 people rely on the food distribution site at First Baptist International Church every first and third Wednesday of the month is a stark reminder of the scale of food insecurity in our community. Forgotten Harvest's ability to rescue and distribute food from over 600 sources, including grocery chains and big box stores, is a testament to the organization's dedication and efficiency. As the city continues to grapple with issues of poverty and inequality, the role of organizations like Forgotten Harvest will only continue to grow in importance. By supporting Forgotten Harvest and its partner agencies, Detroiters can help make a tangible difference in the lives of their neighbors who are struggling to make ends meet.
