NC Gleaning

We can arrange gleanings based on any desired date! Call us or fill out and submit the form accessible at the bottom of this page!

Most gleaning events take place on weekends where gleaners arrive in the fields around 8:00 a.m. and are on their way home by noon. Society of St. Andrew makes all arrangements with farmers, produce containers and food distribution. All that volunteer gleaners need to do is show up. Volunteer groups are encouraged to take food back to agencies or programs that they support in their local area.

• People of all ages can glean. Gleaners should be able to bend over and should be able to bend and lift several pounds of produce.
   

• It is important that the contact person be reachable by phone during day-time hours.
   

• Most of our gleanings are in the morning and last three to four hours. Gleanings are scheduled week days and on Saturdays.
   

• If you have questions about when local crops are available, we would be happy to help.
