Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

Four years ago, Dr. Phil and Gerry started Food First Michigan with the intent of changing the conversation about food security in Michigan. The reason we can see farther is because we’ve been standing on the shoulders of giants - giants that have joined the movement of creating a food secure state. This charge is born out of believing food insecurity CAN be solved and that it is in the best interest of EVERYBODY in the community for it to be solved.

Tune in for Food First Michigan this Sunday at 9:00 PM on WJR Radio with Dr. Phil Knight, Gerry Brisson, president and CEO of Gleaners Community Food Bank, and John Roberts, interim president of Advantasure and a member of the Food Bank Council of Michigan Board of Directors, to hear why John has joined our movement and discuss the importance of the Social Determinants of Health [SDoH].

John is an influencer - a leader who has served at the top levels of State Government and is unafraid to help others when they are in need. Food is centric to our lives and we believe that food insecurity is an issue that can unite us – it is a non-partisan issue that drives change! Where there is no vision, the people perish. But, where there is no money, the vision perishes.

John got involved in this movement because he wants a community that is equitable and thrives. He has come alongside of us in many ways. Leaders are influencers. When people who lead want to use their influence for the greater good and the welfare of others, it is impactful!
