Forgotten Harvest was formed in 1990
to fight hunger and waste. Forgotten Harvest “rescued” more than 12.5
million pounds of food last year by collecting surplus prepared and perishable
food from more than 400 sources, including grocery stores, fruit and vegetable
markets, restaurants, caterers, dairies, farmers, wholesale food distributors
and other Health Department-approved sources. This donated food, which would
otherwise go to waste, is delivered free-of-charge to 155 emergency food
providers in the Metro Detroit area.
Metro Times is celebrating its 30th
anniversary in 2010 and Vodka Vodka is their first big event of the year.
