Between now and May 5th, Gather Baltimore will be transferring operations from our small, second story, shared warehouse space to a larger warehouse on the first story of our building. Unfortunately, this means moving our large walk-in coolers. We are seeking out skilled volunteers with experience in electrical wiring and/or basic refrigeration to help take these box coolers apart and then put them back together in our new space! They don't have to go far, but we need your support to get them there!

About Gather Baltimore

Mission Statement
A volunteer-based program that collects excess vegetables, fruit, and bread from local retail sources and farmers markets for distribution to meal programs, faith communities, and others in need.
Description
Gather Baltimore is a volunteer-based program, created by OSI fellow Arthur Morgan, that collects unsold vegetables, fruit and bread from the Baltimore Farmers' Market & Bazaar in downtown Baltimore and other sources for redistribution to local citizens in need. The baked goods, fruit and seasonal produce collected would otherwise be thrown away as it will not stay fresh until the next market. Gather Baltimore ensures that this food does not become waste but instead is made available to financially challenged families in communities where fresh healthy food is not readily accessible.
