Food Gatherers is a nonprofit organization that operates as a food rescue and food bank program serving Washtenaw County, Michigan.

The organization collaborates with around 170 partner agencies and programs to deliver direct food assistance to low-income adults, seniors, and children. In addition to distributing food, Food Gatherers coordinates with other hunger relief providers, educates the public about hunger, and develops new food resources.
