What does volunteering for our Glean Team project mean?
- Gleaning is simply the act of collecting excess fresh foods from farms, gardens, farmers markets, grocers, restaurants, state/county fairs, or any other sources in order to provide it to those in need.
Our Glean Team is a multi-prong project:
1. Identify donors/partners who have excess produce/food to rescue from going to waste.
2. Volunteers to pick up and transport excess produce/food to Rooted In’s office at Trinity Lutheran Church ELCA 330 S. Broadway St. Green Bay, WI 54303.
3. Volunteers to help clean and sort rescued produce at our office to redistribute.
4. Volunteers to redistribute gleaned produce to food pantry partners.
