In an effort to expand its ministry to the poor and needy in Jacksonville, Gleaners Dispatch, Inc. is preparing to launch a mobile soup kitchen ministry on the Westside. The "Soup Galley", a box van with a full kitchen and generator, is nearly ready to put in service. We will be announcing a launch date soon.
Gleaners is already serving free soup to our guests who come to the Ramona Flea Market every Thursday.

- 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.

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.
