Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency partners with Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan to help provide nutritious food and resources to families in the community. Through this partnership, food distributions are organized to support families experiencing food insecurity. Volunteers help by assisting with setup, organizing food, and supporting the distribution process to ensure families are served in a welcoming and efficient way.
