Join us December 2nd-6th for Food Gatherers' 36th annual Rockin’ for the Hungry! This year our goal is to raise 1.5 million meals to meet the increased need for food in our community as we broadcast live on Ann Arbor’s 107.1 from the Westgate Kroger. Your gift will be matched by generous sponsors, so every dollar provides the equivalent of 4 meals!

The food and funds donated during Rockin’ will help our neighbors facing food insecurity in Washtenaw County.

Thank you to our amazing partners and sponsors of Rockin’ 2025: arbor’s 107one, Kroger, our matching sponsors, and our community partners.
