About Me

Gleaners Dispatch, Inc.: Our Mission To challenge hunger by responsibly gathering (gleaning) fresh food and distributing (dispatching) it to people in need. Gleaners is committed to volunteerism, building relationships and improving the quality of life for the community. We accomplish this by: Bringing hunger relief to people on fixed but inadequate incomes, especially single parent families, senior citizens, handicapped, the under-employed, and/or those between jobs. Salvaging excess food from wholesale and retail vendors who would otherwise dispose of their excess, which is needed by so many. Providing help, guidance and spiritual encouragement to those receiving the food, as well as those who volunteer their services in this People Helping People business of caring.
