Hidden Harvest

As someone who grew up with a single parent on disability, struggling to take care of their family, we often turned to SNAP benefits for several months during my upbringing. Without these benefits, my Dad and I would have never made it....

With the impending discontinuation of SNAP benefits in November, I'd like to help raise money for a local, non-profit, food-bank that supports the local community - Hidden Harvest in Saginaw, MI.

Please donate whatever you feel you can afford! From my research, the best donation is cash, as for every $1.00 donated, they can usually buy approximately $2.75 in bulk groceries! If that doesn't work for you, donating non-perishables to your local food bank works as well! Donating your time is also an incredible option that these places are always looking for!

Thank you so much to everybody who is able to contribute! I will be starting personally with a $100 donating from the Saj household.

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Hidden Harvest, and any donation will help ensure that no one goes hungry in the Great Lakes Bay Region during this holiday season. With the higher food costs at the grocery store, we are all feeling the pinch in putting food on the table - but for our neighbors in need, these costs not only reduce the amount of food they can provide to their family, but also the quality of food.

Hidden Harvest strives to alleviate hunger and end food waste in the Great Lakes Bay Region by providing a safe and coordinated system of rescuing surplus food and redistributing it to feed people in need.

The most common food Hidden Harvest rescues and distributes is fresh produce - ensuring not just that bellies are full, but also that the health of our communities is nourished.

Every dollar donated to Hidden Harvest has a return of $15 worth of food shared out to our recipient agencies. Last year, we rescued and distributed 3,572,035 pounds of food - which saved over $10M for the area shelters, soup kitchens, food pantries, youth and senior programs we serve.

Simple concept with so many great returns to the community:

Rescue food, nourish our neighbors in need, support our local non-profits, prevent unnescceary waste!
