For many families, concerns about feeding the family during the summer is all they can think of. Gleaners Food Bank is partnering with CItizens Bank, Michigan to make sure this is a hunger-free summer for families.

Gerry Brisson, President and CEO of Gleaners Community Food Bank, explained that there are a lot more trucks out this summer feeding those in need. Many kids depend on food from school but just because school is closed does not mean the need goes away. Also, the pandemic has made it even more necessary to help families with food insecurity. Gleaners has also added 70 new sites for food pickup.

Rick Hampson, President and CEO of Citizens Bank, Michigan, said that Citizens Bank is matching the donations to Gleaners to help give back to the community.
