(WXYZ) — At 7 News Detroit, we're committed to giving back to our communities. That's why all-day Wednesday, with your help, we are raising money to help provide quality meals for families in Metro Detroit. All donations will benefit Forgotten Harvest, a local non-profit whose mission is to provide highly nutritious meals free of charge to families and end food insecurity.
7 News Detroit and The Scripps Howard Fund will be matching up to $5,000 in donations on July 24.
Every $10 donated equals 40 meals!

Forgotten Harvest is metro Detroit's largest food rescue organization. They have a fleet of more than 30 trucks on the road five days a week to pick up food from over 520 food donors. Volunteers then clean and repack the food into family-sized portions, and distribute it to families in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties. The team delivers 144,000 pounds of surplus food per day to local charities.
