We envision joyful communities that see every fruit tree as an abundant resource which contributes to a just food system and enhances the well-being of people, community networks, habitat, and our changing climate. To reach our vision, we care for and harvest from the trees that feed and shade our neighborhoods – join us! It’s fun!
We provide a critical link between organizations and businesses that have excess food and the food insecure children and families who need this food. Urban Gleaners’ work is geared towards promoting environmental sustainability by rescuing healthy and wholesome food from going into landfills, while directly mitigating the systemic inequities that contribute to food insecurity in our communities.
