UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO HELP YOUR NEIGHBORS – VOLUNTEER TO GLEAN!
Community
Harvest of Central Vermont (CHCV), Central Vermont 's own
regional gleaning program is looking for volunteers to help glean! Volunteering with CHCV will give you
the opportunity to be outside and help support your neighbors in need.
What is
Gleaning? - Gleaning is
the practice of walking farmers’ fields and gathering usable food after the
farmer has finished the regular harvest. The collected produce is then donated
to those in the community who have limited access to healthy, fresh local food.
Register with
CHCV as a volunteer gleaner to help recover surplus produce from local farms.
To see
pictures of volunteer gleaners at work harvesting the 29,000 pounds of produce
that CHCV gleaned and donated last year, visit CHCV's web site.
CHCV needs
volunteers for a range of volunteer activities including but not limited to
field gleaning. Field gleaning starts in late June and goes through November,
while other volunteer opportunities are available year-round. Visit the CommunityHarvestVT.org web
site for more volunteer details.
If you don't
have the time to volunteer but you want to help, you can support our work with
a tax deductible contribution through the link on CHCV's web site.
Please
consider volunteering with Community Harvest of Central Vermont and helping
feed those who have limited access to the healthy fresh food that is
already being grown in Central Vermont .
"Help
everyone eat local - Glean!"
