Glean with the Vermont Foodbank, 

Volunteers Needed

The Vermont Foodbank, the state’s largest hunger-relief organization, is looking for volunteers this summer to help with the Gleaning Program. Gleaning is the age old practice of  harvesting produce that is otherwise unmarketable.  The Vermont Foodbank Gleaning Program harvests excess produce from local farms with the help of many volunteers, making it available to our neighbors in need. In 2011 the Vermont Foodbank Gleaning Program worked with more than 100 farms and hundreds of volunteers to provide nearly 400,000 pounds of fresh, local produce to Vermonters in need of food assistance.  Participating as a gleaning volunteer offers community members the chance to learn firsthand about local food production and food insecurity in the state.  Come glean with us! To learn more and to volunteer at a farm near you, please contact Michelle Wallace at 802-477-4125 or mwallace@vtfoodbank.org.
