ANN ARBOR – Food Gatherers has canceled its biggest annual event “Grillin’ for Food Gatherers” for the second year in a row due to COVID-19 safety concerns.
In the event’s absence, Washtenaw County’s food rescue and food bank organization has launched a matching campaign to address urgent and rising food insecurity in the community.
Grillin’ for Food Gatherer’s is a large outdoor picnic and fundraiser supported by local businesses and foundations to help alleviate hunger in Washtenaw County. Each year, more than 1,400 people attend the event at the Washtenaw County Fairgrounds.
