Emerson faculty and staff used the year’s first in-service day for a community cause, packaging food items at Food Gatherers. This is the second year of this service project for teachers and staff.
In partnership with 164 non-profit agencies and programs in Washtenaw County, Food Gatherers collects and distributes 5 million pounds of food a year to our neediest neighbors.
