On Monday, September 19, 2022, Kemp Klein held its Inaugural Charity Golf Outing at the Links of Novi, to benefit Forgotten Harvest, a charity that has been fighting hunger and food insecurity since 1990. Forgotten Harvest delivers 144,000 pounds of surplus food per day to local charities five days a week, providing families in need with fresh and nutritious food free of charge. At a time when many families are struggling to choose between food, fuel and rent, the importance of their work just can’t be overstated. The outing raised $30,000 which will help feed 120,000 people.
