Community Service Activity
Gleaning in Boynton Beach!
Come join us for a fun outdoor activity (picking peppers!) that helps feed our food insecure communities!
What is gleaning? It is a food recovery strategy that allows produce that is below top market grade or unmarketable, but equally nutritious and beneficial to be harvested and distributed to the food insecure of Palm Beach County instead of being plowed back into the soil. Farmers donate the produce they cannot sell while volunteers pick and gather the produce. It's then distributed to local agencies and provided to families with low-incomes, seniors, people with disabilities, and the homeless.
