2012 Rockin' for the Hungry Food Gatherers food drive donation tracking

The annual five-day Rockin' For The Hungry food drive is under way.

CURRENT COLLECTION TOTAL: 16 Tons (Dec 5, 5 p.m.)

With a goal of 200-tons, Food Gatherers volunteers will be collecting food donations outside of the Kroger at 400 S. Maple Road through Dec. 9.

You can track the progress of Washtenaw County's largest food drive the entire time on AnnArbor.com. Just watch the "carrot barometer" to see how close Food Gatherers is to its goal.

As part of the event, Ann Arbor's 107one will be conducting its live on-location broadcast throughout the week at the following times:

Dec. 5 to 8

6 to 10 a.m. — Martin Bandyke
