After the Harvest succeeds on volunteer power! With a small staff, we count on our volunteers in a BIG way! Gleaning (harvesting produce from farms and orchards that would otherwise go to waste) is our number-one volunteer activity, and we have gleaning opportunities from June all the way through October-sometimes earlier in the year and sometimes later, depending on the weather.
We glean everything from apples to zucchini, blackberries to watermelon! Spend some time at a farm and have some fun. Bring the kids and grandkids. Get your hands dirty (or wear gloves) and enjoy the fresh country air. Then, if you can, help even more by delivering the fresh produce to local food banks and pantries to feed those in need.
