Lincoln County Gleaners

A program of Healthy Lincoln County, primarily volunteer based , we aim to increase the access of fresh local produce to anyone who does not have the ability to it otherwise. We work with local farms, schools and other community partners to reduce food waste, support local farms and feed our communities.

Gleaning is the act of collecting left over food from Farmer's fields after they have been commercially harvested. Lincoln County Gleaners will harvest this surplus and distribute it to those in need of a little extra help. We distribute the food to schools, senior meal sites, sharing tables and other local venues. We have administrative volunteer needs, delivery drivers, pickers and other positions available.
