Nourish Your Community: Harvest Food for the Hungry!

Past event
Sep 21, 2018, 10 AM to 2:30 PM

When: Fri Sept 21st Tues Oct 2nd & Fri Oct 5th 10:00 am - 2:30 pm

What: Join Salvation Farms to glean tons (literally!) of potatoes and winter squash at The Barber Farm https://www.barberfarm.org/ in Jericho. These donated crops will make their way to Salvation Farms' Vermont Commodity Program, which engages individuals in a workforce development program to clean and pack large volumes of surplus crops for distribution into the charitable food system.

Please visit the Vermont Gleaning Collective website http://vermontgleaningcollective.org/ to register and RSVP for any of the above dates. (Gleans appear on a calendar, listed by county, so just look for links to Chittenden County on those dates! All details, including directions to the farm and what to bring, are in the glean listings.)

Contact Carly, Gleaning Coordinator, with any questions: carly@salvationfarms.org or 888-4360.

Volunteers should be comfortable working rain or shine, lifting up to 30 lbs, and bending or stooping for extended periods of time.
