Our efforts not only reduce hunger but also promote sustainability and community involvement in addressing food insecurity.

Participants benefit from a diverse range of speakers sharing best practices and strategies to improve gleaning programs empowering communities to combat food waste effectively. This symposium aligns with our organizations overarching goal of expanding the gleaning movement ultimately improving the nutritional access for vulnerable community members.
