Forgotten Harvest rescues surplus food to feed the community

New reporting from BridgeDetroit spotlights Forgotten Harvest, the metro Detroit nonprofit that rescues surplus food and distributes it to local charities that feed the community. President and CEO Adrian Lewis joined American Black Journal host Stephen Henderson to walk through the rescue model as the organization works to keep up with demand. Strait has not independently confirmed this.

Why we're watching: food rescue is one of Detroit's quieter engines against hunger, and we will cover Forgotten Harvest's fall programs and distribution numbers directly when they land.
