Michigan Harvest Gathering Meal Challenge

Food is critical to understanding other people.

This weekend on Food First Michigan, Dr. Phil Knight and Gerry Brisson, president & CEO of Gleaners Community Food Bank, welcome their guest Justin Winslow, the president & CEO of the Michigan Restaurant & Lodging Association.

We are kicking off the 31st annual Michigan Harvest Gathering with the Michigan Meal Challenge in partnership with the Michigan Restaurant & Lodging Association. Be sure to tune in in this Sunday at 9:00 PM on WJR Radio or NewsTalk 760 AM to hear more about this year’s campaign. Come alongside the Michigan food bank network and the Michigan Restaurant & Lodging Association to support those who are still struggling by visiting feedmichigan.org.

On this edition of Food First Michigan, Justin defines reality on the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic had on the Michigan restaurant and lodging industry – and how the industry is recovering. We are thankful to have the MRLA as our partner in making Michigan a food secure state.

Change is certain. The challenge we have as leaders is to create positive change. The Michigan Harvest Gathering was started 31 years ago by Bill and Cynthia Schuette. Their impact lives on through the Michigan Harvest Gathering, which allows us to unite around the nonpartisan challenge of food insecurity. Let our generation be the one that puts and keeps #FOODFIRST.
