Lenten Mission
Cut and Tie Gleaning Bags Service Project
Gleaning Bags + Odd-Sized Vegetables = Food for Hungry People
Gleaning is the act of collecting leftover crops in the field after harvest. During harvest, there is food that is left or often missed.
If you can cut and tie a knot, we need you! We will be preparing bunches of bags for folks who will glean various fields in the area. Come one day or a couple days!
Thursdays and Fridays

We will prepare mesh bags for the size needed. It takes a few minutes per bag to be ready to hold 10 pounds of odd-sized vegetables.
The Society of St. Andrew organizes the additional volunteer steps to get this food from farmers to hungry people directly and through other non-profits. (St. Andrew was one of Jesus’ first disciples.)
