The Food Gatherers
Every now and then the World Carrot Museum comes across a really worthy organisation established to help fellow human beings. One such organisation worthy of a big plug is Food Gatherers.
This a
non-profit food rescue/food bank program in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Food
Gatherers is 16 years old, and have had a carrot logo since the beginning.
They are crazy about carrots! They carrots on their trucks, carrots on the
walls, and giant carrots in front of the building. The warehouse is even
on a road called "Carrot Way" (it is an actual city road that they named!).
And of course it is Number 1 Carrot Way - what else?
The company is clearly smitten with the carrot theme, the reason being is that carrots are very healthy, versatile, long lasting, and good looking. Quite true!
The philosophical contingent is that carrots have deep roots in the soil just like Food Gatherers has deep roots in the community. Every day, they rescue 3 1/2 tons of food that would otherwise go to waste, and redistribute it to hunger programs (enough food for almost 5,000 meals per day!).
Thank you Food Gatherers for sharing your carrot craziness with the Museum. Good luck to you all.
