Wednesday September 13th--Gleaning butternut squash at a farm near Lee's Summit
We're up to our ears in butternut squash and we need lots of volunteers! Come help bring nutritious produce to our hungry neighbors. If you can deliver to a food pantry, let us know.
We’ll e-mail you the farm address before your gleaning. Thanks, we'll see you in the field!
Sign up at https://aftertheharvestkc.org/get-involved/volunteers/ or contact Mariah at mariah@aftertheharvestkc.org or 816-921-1903.
Fruits and vegetables are going to waste in farmers’ fields. Can you help us save this fresh, nutritious produce to feed hungry families?
Are you, your friends, family or organization looking for a fun activity while also helping others? Come join us! Breathe in fresh country air, get your hands a little dirty, bring the kids and help glean--gather excess produce that would otherwise go to waste at a farm or orchard within 30-45 min. of St. Joseph, MO. Then, if you can, help even more by delivering the fresh produce to local food banks and pantries.
Please let us know you’re interested in gleaning with us this season: Late May (sometimes earlier depending on weather) to November, for about three hours Mon-Sat mornings in the summer, with later start times in the fall.
- Your organization/group wants to glean? Reserve your date now.
- You want to lead a gleaning? We always need field supervisors.
- You want us to come speak to your organization? We’d love to meet you!
After the Harvest has a very small staff, so we only succeed because of volunteers like you! Thanks so much for your help.
