Metro Detroit food rescue Forgotten Harvest has announced their second annual signature spring event to the Metro Detroit community: Feeding Detroit Together – A Benefit for Forgotten Harvest.

Forgotten Harvest will feature a gourmet course dinner prepared by the talented chefs at MGM, an exciting silent auction, a powerful program highlighting our community impact and engaging entertainment, including incredible music by Parallel Fifth to dance the night away.
