People Helping People
During the last 24 years we have provided over $9 million in wholesale value of EXCESS fresh food from area vendors to well over 400,000 families in North Florida who have been challenged by hunger.
Our Mission
OUR MISSION IS VERY SIMPLE:
To challenge hunger by bringing relief to people on fixed but inadequate incomes:
Senior Citizens, Disabled, Single Parents, the Under-Employed or Unemployed between jobs.
Every day of the week Gleaners Dispatch Volunteers go to local wholesalers, retailers, and restaurants and “glean” (gather) EXCESS fresh food that would otherwise be disposed of, and redistribute the fresh food to families in need, trying to have it on someone’s table within 24-48 hours – free of charge.
