Several times throughout the year, colleagues of Comerica Bank spend time assisting Forgotten Harvest in packaging food to help the organization reach people in need. Throughout September and October, several Comerica departments are volunteering time at the organizations 8 Mile warehouse in Oak Park.
Volunteers pack emergency food boxes, re-pack or sort fresh nutritious food that will be distributed through Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb County.
Forgotten Harvest delivers approximately 144,00 pounds of surplus food per day to local charities that provides families with fresh, nutritious food at no cost. In one year, it will redistribute over 42 million pounds of food.
The organization is dedicated to reliving hunger and preventing nutritious food waste, and it envisions communities working together to end hunger and increase individual, neighborhood, economic, and environmental health.
On top of volunteer hours from Comerica colleagues, Comerica Bank ($17,500) and Comerica Charitable Foundation ($17,500) has donated $35,000 to Forgotten Harvest since 2020.
