Last Look: Gerry Brisson, vice president for development, Gleaners

By Margaret Battistelli
The 31-year-old Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan serves all of Southeast Michigan, which is home to 5 million people. It has five distribution centers strategically located throughout a six-county area, as well as storage, transportation and other capacities that enable it to quickly and efficiently get food to people where and when it’s needed. In addition, the food bank purchases food at prices that are dramatically lower than market rates in order to meet the nutrition and quantity requirements of its more than 400 member partners, which include food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, churches and other agencies that distribute emergency food.

Quips & Quotes

$relateImage.caption
“Surprisingly, despite the success of household names like Greenpeace, Amnesty International, UNICEF, Save the Children, WWF International, Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and World Vision, you will struggle to identify more than a dozen [nonprofit organizations] that are truly global, which might indicate an opportunity. The other important thing to note is the dominance of humanitarian causes in these brands, with a heavy emphasis on children. While the environment is quite prominent, there are many gaps with other causes that you might expect to be thinking and operating internationally — the glaring gap being cancer and other medical/scientific causes. While HIV/AIDS has a world-recognised symbol, it doesn’t have a single global body that most people can name or, worse still, support.”

— Tony Elischer, U.K.-based fundraising consultant and Guest Editor of the May issue of Fundraising Success
