Brothers from Ann Arbor Fraternity 262 deliver their revised check - complete with the additional $1500 contributed by the Michigan Masonic Charitable Foundation to Food Gatherers.
From the Food Gatherers website:
“We’re able to stretch a dollar pretty far with our purchasing power, so if you can donate funds, we can do the shopping! For only $35, you can underwrite the cost of three meals a day for a child for an entire month, and $50 can feed a hungry senior for one month.”
