The sfsp is a program of the united states department of agriculture, which provides funding to cover the costs of the meals at eligible sites. Food Gatherers is the largest sponsor of the sfsp for children in washtenaw county. Free meals are made available to children under 18 years of age and under or persons up to age 26 who are enrolled in an educational program for the mentally or physically disabled that is recognized by a state or local public educational agency.
Food Gatherers operates a community kitchen, which is located in the robert j. delonis center, home of the shelter association of washtenaw county. Volunteers transform rescued and bulk Food into useful Food resources and prepare and serve approximately 12 meals per week to those in need.
