What to Expect

Gleaning can be hard, messy work, but it's incredibly rewarding. You'll learn about new foods, discover innovative preservation methods, and contribute to a more sustainable community.

How It Works

  1. Collect: Volunteers pick up unsellable but still good food from local stores and farms.

  2. Sort: We gather several times a week to sort through the food, reclaiming what can be used.

  3. Distribute: The salvaged food is then distributed to members, with excess used for animal feed or compost.
