Daimler Financial Services Americas Is Presenting Forgotten Harvest a Surprise Significant Financial Contribution to the Food Rescue Agency's Capital Fund Campaign

    WHAT:     Daimler Financial Services Americas is surprising the leadership             of Forgotten Harvest by making a (six-figure) financial             contribution to the food rescue agency's capital fund drive. The             mission of Forgotten Harvest is to relieve hunger in the Detroit             metropolitan community by rescuing surplus prepared and             perishable food and donating it to emergency food providers.              Also, hundreds of pounds of food collected by Daimler Financial             employees will be presented to Forgotten Harvest and loaded onto             a Forgotten Harvest truck. Earlier this year, Daimler Financial             donated two brand new trucks to Forgotten Harvest.    WHO:      Klaus Entenmann, President & CEO, Daimler Financial Services             Americas, along with employees of the company, and Susan             Goodell, Executive Director, Forgotten Harvest.  Please note:             Susan Goodell is unaware that she will be receiving the             financial contribution.

About Forgotten Harvest  

Forgotten Harvest was formed in 1990 to fight two problems: hunger and waste. Forgotten Harvest currently rescues over 8.5 million pounds of food per year by collecting surplus prepared and perishable food from a variety of sources, including grocery stores, fruit and vegetable markets, restaurants, caterers, dairies, farmers, wholesale food distributors, and other Health Department-approved sources. This donated food, which would otherwise go to waste, is delivered absolutely free of charge to 135 emergency food providers in the metro Detroit area. The individuals and families served are as diverse as the community's residents - young and old, from all races and faiths. The common bond uniting them with each other and with Forgotten Harvest is hunger.
