MEMBER NEWS: Forgotten Harvest – R1 Impact Through Serving Others

Wednesday, April 30, 2014 9:17 AM | Anonymous member (Administrator)
This past Friday, a team from Reliance One spent their R1 Impact Day at Forgotten Harvest of Southeast Detroit.  They assisted the farm personnel with clean up in the barns in order to get them ready for the upcoming season.  In the first barn, they removed straw so they could start relocating dirt to the lower areas of the barn, while also disposing of large piles of trash.  In the second barn, Robin, Joe, and Jake focused on leaf removal while Ericka sorted gloves for future volunteers. 
 
The team said Forgotten Harvest was very thankful they were able to get some of these larger tasks off of their list, since they usually get pushed aside when the weather gets nicer, which is when their focus turns to planting and harvesting. 
 
"While we sit down at our tables each and every day to enjoy a meal, we don’t realize that one out of every five people in Southeast Michigan goes without.  This farm has a goal of delivering 1.7 million pounds of food to the tables of those in need.  Knowing that we had a small part in that eventual success was a great feeling,” stated Robin Hilliker, R1 Account Manager.
