Busch's Season of Sharing
- WHAT
- Busch’s Fresh Food Market will help feed the hungry in its Season of Sharing holiday food drive.
- A family-owned market chain, the Busch family has held these drives for more than 20 years. Seven of the Busch’s metro Detroit area locations will be dedicating donations to Forgotten Harvest.
- GIVE
- Customers can purchase pre-made “Ready to Go” food donation bags for $10 which are filled with items to be given to a family in need.
- Customers can make a contribution of any amount at the Busch’s checkout registers. Dollars go directly to Forgotten Harvest.
- Customers will be able to purchase $5 gift cards for produce and $10 gift cards for meats. Gift card purchases will be converted into produce and meat donations to Forgotten Harvest at the value of the total amount of gift card purchases.
- Customers can donate their bottle return slips. Dollars go directly to Forgotten Harvest.
- WHY
- Access to “rescued” and donated food makes the difference for friends, families and neighbors struggling to maintain their bills and provide food to their families. Forgotten Harvest is working to enable members of the community to stay in their homes and manage their way through the economic crisis by providing nutritious and wholesome food. It is through these donations Forgotten Harvest is able to carry on its mission.
