About Forgotten Harvest
Oak Park, Michigan-based Forgotten Harvest was formed in 1990 to fight two problems: hunger
and waste. Forgotten Harvest “rescued” over 40 million pounds of food last year by collecting
surplus prepared and perishable food from over 800 locations, including grocery stores, fruit and
vegetable markets, restaurants, caterers, dairies, farmers, wholesale food distributors and other
Health Department-approved sources. This donated food, which would otherwise go to waste, is
delivered free-of-charge to over 250 emergency food providers in the metro Detroit area.
Forgotten Harvest has been ranked as a four-star charity by Charity Navigator for ten
consecutive years. Learn more about Forgotten Harvest and how to help drive hunger from our
