Come glean with us to rescue fruits and veggies to feed hungry families
THIS GLEANING IS FILLED. PLEASE CHECK OTHER DATES.
It’s a sour cherry gleaning at a pantry garden in downtown Kansas City. Easy to get to and park…and the sour cherries are so ready to be picked on eight or so small trees. Can we get six folks to come and pick these sour cherries (used mostly for delicious pies) to deliver to the hungry in Kansas City?

We’ll e-mail you info before gleaning
We’ll e-mail you the farm address and Field Supervisor contact information before your gleaning as well as notice of delay or cancellation due to bad weather. If the gleaning event listing says “produce” gleaning, instead of, say, “apple” gleaning, that means we’ll be gleaning, but don’t yet know what will be ready to harvest. We’ll let you know via e-mail before gleaning.
Can you also transport produce from the farm to a food bank, pantry or kitchen?
Let us know when you sign up if you can be a gleaner/driver. Volunteers tell us that delivering is one of the best experiences of the day. We try to select a location near your route, but if you can, please be open to areas of most need.

Note to Organization Leaders
Only the leader should sign up and tell us about your group: organization name and description, where you are traveling from to get to the gleaning, and the ages of your volunteers (how many projected 0-6, 7-12, 13-18, 19+ years?). If you’re projecting more volunteers than indicated, sign up anyway and we’ll contact you. We may be able to accommodate a larger number or a different date or time. Download and send Waiver Form and Volunteer Gleaning FAQs to your volunteers. Send instructions to print, complete Waiver Form; bring to the gleaning.
