We have been fortunate to partner with Urban Gleaners over the last 6 years.They provide food to our youth and families facing food insecurity. Urban Gleaners feeds over 4,000 people every week through school pantries, summer free farmers markets, and Mobile Markets at low-income housing communities. They collect and redistribute over 60,000 pounds of food every month. They recognize that there are serious systemic issues facing our communities: widespread poverty, social injustice, and income inequality are just the start of it.

We are grateful for this partnership.
