Unfortunately, Gleaners is not able to make home deliveries. We recommend calling 2-1-1 or visiting https://www.mi211.org to find services and programs in your area that may be of assistance.
We consistently evaluate the locations of our mobile distributions to ensure we’re serving as many households as we can, as quickly and efficiently as we can, while minimizing disruptions to the surrounding neighborhood. This may require us to relocate our mobiles from previous locations.
