(WXYZ) — Here at WXYZ-TV, we're committed to giving back. That's why with your help, we are collaborating with Forgotten Harvest to help fight food insecurity across metro Detroit.
Thank you for making a difference! During our Day of Giving on Tuesday, our community generously donated enough money to provide 408,000 meals to families in metro Detroit.
A special thanks to Cynthia and Edsel Ford for matching donations during our evening shows.

Forgotten Harvest is metro Detroit's largest food rescue organization. They have a fleet of 50 trucks on the road six 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.
