  • Donate at www.HungerFreeSummer.org.

  • Text “HFS” TO 85944 (a $10 donation will be automatically added to your cell phone bill). Message and data rates may apply.
  • Mail donation to: Hunger Free Summer, P.O. Box 1380, Troy, MI 48099.
  • Make a donation at Hiller’s and Hollywood Market checkout registers throughout Metro Detroit.

"Every $1 donation provides eight nutritious lunches for hungry children in southeastern Michigan," Gleaners and Forgotten Harvest say.
