Your Kids Can Count Their Pennies for This Virtual Food Drive

Patch has partnered with Gleaners in an online food pantry program that allows you to buy a macaroni and cheese dinner for 37 cents, pancakes for $1.05 — or a meal for a family of four for $28.

Giving has never been so easy.

Patch has joined up with Gleaners Community Food Bank for an online food pantry program that lets you give as little or as much as you want to help hungry families in the Rochester area. 

Thanks to your generous donations, we've raised $2,698 towards our goal of $10,000; the virtual food drive runs through Saturday, Nov. 17, and is the first for Gleaners. The 30 Michigan Patch sites are proud and honored to be their first partner.
