DONATE PRODUCE
The Gleaners exist to transform produce that might otherwise be wasted into nourishment for millions of the world's hungry.
The Gleaners depend on securing sources of vegetables and fruit that it can process. How can you help? Maybe you are someone who may have surplus produce – or you know a farmer or a company that has surplus produce.
The Gleaners receives produce from many sources – not just farmers. Large grocery chains or frozen food distribution organizations will provide surplus produce that makes up a large part of the Gleaners' production.
We don’t like seeing produce going to waste; we are Gleaners. If you have excess produce, please contact us today!
VEGETABLES NEEDED: beets, broccoli, brussels sprouts, carrots, cauliflower, green beans, lentils, onions, peas, peppers, potatoes, pot barley, tomatoes, & turnips
FRUIT NEEDED: apples & pears
Small blemishes/bruises, oversized, misshapen or cosmetically challenged product is acceptable, as long as it is eatable. Rule of thumb: more than half of each piece should be useable, once blemish/damage is removed. Overage produce should have 2 or more days of “life” left before it is unusable and all produce must be fit for human consumption.
We are a registered charity and gladly issue tax receipts, in accordance with Canada Revenue guidelines, for donations of produce.
We are willing to send our truck and pick up your excess produce. We have the ability to pick up small loads on short notice with our 1 and 5-ton trucks. Larger loads requiring the use of the hwy tractor and trailer needs to be scheduled with management.
