“We are extremely grateful to Art Van for providing this $25,000 challenge grant to support our Mobile Pantry Project,” said Forgotten Harvest President and CEO Susan Goodell. “This refrigerated Mobile Pantry is now providing fresh, healthy food at nine sites in Southfield, Warren, Highland Park, and four Detroit neighborhoods with high concentrations of school-age children. This year, our Mobile Pantry will distribute more than 1.8 million pounds of nutritious food to vulnerable families in these neighborhoods.”
