If you have more fruits or vegetables than you can harvest, eat or give away, please consider contacting a local gleaning group. They will come to your garden or orchard, pick whatever you would like to donate and take it to a local food pantry or soup kitchen to feed to others in our community who might be hungry or have limited access to healthy food.
Do you have a fruit or nut tree in your neighborhood that doesn’t get harvested? Consider asking your neighbors if you can help them pick the produce and share it with the families in your neighborhood. Or ask them to contact a gleaning organization. Always ask first, since the owner may have plans to use their produce.
