Lafayette Greens in Detroit

Compuware planted a new urban area in downtown Detroit called Lafayette Greens. It is a gorgeus garden with beautiful raised beds and wonderful seating to relax and enjoy the beauty. Food grown there will go to Gleaners Food Bank. The yield in one summer month was over 900,000 pounds of food. It has really improved the look of the neighborhood. Great job, farm manager Gwen.

Fresh bread, baked that morning is what you get from Gleaners Food Bank, set up down at Eastern Market. One of the oldest food banks in the US, this organization's mission is to turn surplus food into tons of healthy meals for the hungry. They distributed over 30 million pounds of food last year to soup kitchens and shelters in Southeastern Michigan. Find their wares in Shed 2 and share a smile.
