What it reported doing in 2025

Skagit gleaners launched a community garden program managed by our organization, providing fresh produce to our participants. This 1/3-acre plot was generously provided by the seventh day adventist church at no cost to the program. This has empowered over a dozen volunteers to cultivate and harvest a variety of fresh leafy greens and vegetables, including kale, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, and peas. Our garden has yielded nearly 5,000 pounds of fresh vegetables, all distributed at our market.
