Once again this year the local food rescue organization, Rachel’s Table, is asking for volunteers to join them in gleaning for food.
Gleaning is an old word that appears in the bible and describes the practice of collecting leftover produce from fields or gardens after the main harvest. The edible but surplus crops would otherwise go to waste, and so gleaning both reduces food waste and provides food for those in need.
