Forgotten Harvest is looking for volunteers to help distribute food to those in need, just in time for the holidays! Forgotten Harvest will be distributing 2,000 holiday themed meal kits to 6 pantries throughout the tri-county area, feeding approximately 6,000 individuals. We are looking for volunteers to distribute these meal kits and bring a little cheer to the community. Together, we can provide some Hope for the Holidays.
This is an outdoor opportunity and will operate rain or shine. Please dress warmly and appropriately! Volunteers will be placing boxes and groceries into the trunks of cars.

We are monitoring the situation and taking our lead from the Michigan Public Health Department and the CDC. Forgotten Harvest can provide PPE, which will include; gloves, face masks and face shields.
We are asking any person considering volunteering to please practice necessary safety precautions:
If this describes you, we are unable to have you as a volunteer:

- If you have returned from foreign travel, cruises or traveling from out of state, we ask that you refrain from volunteering for at least 14 days while you monitor your health.
This is a CDC recommendations - not policy - all are welcome to volunteer
- Groups more vulnerable to a dire outcome if they contract the virus include people 60 years of age or older and those with certain health conditions. We discourage these groups to not volunteer and, therefore, avoid exposure to the virus.

It is important to stay informed as these types of situations can be dynamic. If a volunteer opportunity is not appropriate for you and if you are interested in other ways that you can help, the latest information will be on our COVID-19 response page. https://www.forgottenharvest.org/COVID19/
