Freemason Party for Food Gatherers
BREAKING NEWS: Funds raised at this event will be matched by the Michigan Masonic Charitable Foundation!
You are cordially invited to a fundraiser party to benefit Food Gatherers - an Ann Arbor food agency that works to prevent hunger. Food Gatherers does this by collecting and delivering over 7 tons of food per day to those in need in the immediate Ann Arbor area.
Due to hard economic times, Food Gatherers needs your help - with either financial or non-perishable food donations. This party is how you can help an important local charity that directly affects our area, and have a great time doing it! Last year we raised almost $4000 that was then converted into TONS of food. Let’s see if we can do even more for Food Gatherers this year - bring a cash or non-perishable food donation to help make a difference.

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.”
