Welcome to Senior Gleaners
Our mission is to alleviate hunger among the poor and elderly and to glean surplus foods, at low or no cost, from every available source, for distribution among the needy members and other charitable organizations.
Senior Gleaners Inc, is a unique ALL VOLUNTEER nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. Our member enjoy an average age of 73. Over 800 members collect food and household products from markets, farms, and distribution centers, then warehouse them by sorting, cleaning, and boxing for distribution. These activities are supported by an in house print shop, a direct mail center, a data processing center and a plant operations facility. Senior Gleaners distributes to over 135 charities, with over 13 million pounds of food and other necessities annually. Additionally, Senior Gleaners depends on cash donations for the purchase of infant formulas, baby food and diapers. More than .99¢ of every dollar collected goes to feed the hungry. For every $1 donated, volunteers create over $50 worth of service to our community.
The Senior Gleaners are looking for volunteers to give of their time and to share their experience, interest and skills in: Accounting, Computer Operations (both hardware and software), Field Gleaning, Inventory Control, Office Duties, Forklift Drivers, Procurement, Public Relations, Shop Maintenance, Truck Driving, Warehousing, and other miscellaneous work.
On June 25, 2007, we celebrated 31 years of helping to feed the hungry.
