This is a non-profit group that gets together on Saturday and Monday morning to sort and take home items "gleaned" from local grocery stores, and, in the summer, they find out where there are fields where farmers have given permission to glean after the harvest! To be a part, you pay $150/year and can go as often as you want to! The Saturday get together include unloading some trucks, and at the beginning of each day those who come sort through the boxes of food, culling out the bad stuff (it's given to farmers to feed their animals), and sorting out the good. When everything is sorted, everyone gets to go through and take what they need! <br />We are going to be going through what I brought home and either use it fresh, dry it, freeze it or can it!<br />If anyone's interested in participating, let me know and I'll get the contact info for you!Ruth Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00297156024421986096noreply@blogger.com
