Produce gleaning near Kansas City @ A farm within 30-45 min. of Kansas City

Come glean with us to rescue fruits and veggies to feed hungry families.

Sign up to help at this gleaning.

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.

Waiver Form, Volunteer Gleaning FAQs
When you sign up, you’ll see a Waiver Form to download—print, complete and bring to your gleaning. And you’ll see the Volunteer Gleaning FAQs to download, read and share. Or go here to check out FAQs.  Contact us with your additional questions:  Sandy Vivian–sandy@aftertheharvestkc.org or 816-550-5631.

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.
