| Sweet Home Gleaners, Inc view details | | | The basic principle is simple. Gleaners—low-income, able-bodied volunteers--organize themselves into gleaning groups. They share half the crops, surplus and salvaged foods, and firewood they gather with adoptees. Adoptees are low-income people who are unable to gather food themselves because they are elderly or disabled. Gleaners also share with their gleaning group, food banks and group meal sites.
This organizational model for gleaning groups is unique to the West, primarily Oregon. Nowhere else in recent history have so many low-income people worked together so consistently for so long.
Gleaners throughout Oregon are proud to take part in such an ancient and honored tradition. They only wish the need were not so great.
