How to Help the Hungry, Get Help in Dexter This Holiday Season
One in four Michigan children lives in poverty. In this season of being thankful and giving back, here are ways to help make others' holidays warmer.
The holiday season is a time of joy, and if one's lucky, of plenty. Sadly, hunger continues to be a problem, with one in four Michigan children living in poverty and nearly half qualifying for free or low-cost school lunches. To help, Patch.com has launched an online food drive, with all of its 30 Michigan sites participating. Patch is partnering with Gleaners Community Food Bank in this virtual food drive, and the goal is to raise $10,000 by Nov. 24 to help feed local families. Though Gleaners does not service Washtenaw County, all money raised in Washtenaw County will be sent to Ann Arbor Food Gatherers, which partners with local food banks in our communities.
