Groceries 1000x667

Wayne State University issued the following announcement on April 2.

With the COVID-19 outbreak having shut the doors of the state’s public schools, Wayne State University students and scores of other volunteers have partnered with the Gleaners Community Food Bank for a massive food distribution program designed to mitigate hunger in local communities where public school students often rely on reduced and free school lunches.

Part of Gleaners’ monthly School Food Mobile distribution program, volunteers serve healthy food to students and families at schools in low-income communities across Wayne, Livingston, Oakland, Macomb and Monroe counties.

Each site provides as many as 150 families with up to 30 pounds of fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grain and other foods.

Volunteers are giving their time and energy even as they try to remain safe from infection during the pandemic.
