Northern Michigan has unique strengths barriers when it comes to food donation and surplus recovery. Seasonal production, rural geography, storage and transportation gaps, and limited staffing all shape how food moves (or doesn’t move) across the region.

Join Michigan Sustainable Business Forum and Food Rescue of Northwest Michigan, Goodwill Northern Michigan at King Orchards for a focused, solutions-oriented convening designed specifically for practitioners and decision-makers working to increase food donation in Northern Michigan.

This workshop is for those directly involved in food rescue, recovery, distribution, and policy who are seeking practical, implementable solutions.

Participants will:

-Identify region-specific barriers and investment needs
-Strengthen coordination between donors, rescue organizations, and receivers
-Explore public policy opportunities that could accelerate food donation
-Learn about the Double Food Donation -Campaign roadmap and resource guide
-Contribute to a Northern Michigan call to action for the next 12 months

The outcome of this convening will be a documented, practitioner-driven set of regional priorities that align with Michigan’s statewide goal of doubling food donation by 2030. 

Speakers:

Courtney King, VP of Retail Sales, King Orchards
Taylor Moore, Manager of Food Rescue of Northwest Michigan, Goodwill Northern Michigan
Rose Spickler, Director of Education and Engagement, Michigan Sustainable Business Forum
