Happy Holidays 2020 | The Giving Farmstand

What a year it has been. Instead of rehashing 2020, which I feel for the most part we’d all like to put past us, let me share this bit of hope in our local community:

From the Detroit WXYZ Good News of 2020 Blog:

"On Wixom Road, nestled between Charms Road and Sleeth Road in Milford Township is “The Giving Farmstand,” an outdoor pantry of sorts packed full of food and other necessities for those in need.

Cheryl Auger converted the family vegetable stand, putting out some items and signs that read, “need food, take food” and “have food, share food.”

She put it up on Giving Tuesday, sent out a few posts about it on community pages and the response was immediate.

“That next morning, I went out to put something in the mailbox and I saw most of the products were gone,” said Cheryl.

But donations started coming in, too.

“The variety of products that people are leaving . . . fresh eggs, potatoes, apples,” she said. “They’re digging into their wallets and pantries, and their hearts.”

Milford Kitchen donated some of our favorite foods to the stand today! If you are in need or would like to donate, you can find the stand at 2859 Wixon Rd., Milford, MI.

Spread the love.
