Food insecurity has skyrocketed in Washtenaw County since the first coronavirus cases arrived in Michigan in March 2020. Food Gatherers’ network of partner agencies have reported a 30-300% rise in visitors since the pandemic began.
Many residents are seeking out food assistance for the first time in their lives.
“Now more than ever, food banks need your support,” Eileen Spring, President and CEO of Food Gatherers said in a statement in October. “The number of people facing hunger where we live is greater than ever, and it’s not going down. We expect there to be a real need for food for a very long time.”
Community members can drop off donations in the Express Ann Arbor lobby Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Express Ann Arbor is at 6360 Jackson Rd., Ste D.
The locally owned and operated franchise of Express Employment Professionals helps both job seekers and client companies with staffing solutions. Since 2014, Express Ann Arbor has employed more than 35,000 people.
