👍👍 Our school volunteers here every year. All classes from up to 8th grade go to volunteer their time. The younger kids pack Friday backpack bags for children to take home to have food for the weekend. Our 2nd grade packed 900 of them in an hour this past week. The older children usually sort big boxe... People often mention give,

    Our school volunteers here every year. All classes from up to 8th grade go to volunteer their time. The younger kids pack Friday backpack bags for children to take home to have food for the weekend. Our 2nd grade packed 900 of them in an hour this past week. The older children usually sort big boxes of canned goods to be put into those bags. Anyone can volunteer at Gleaners. They have a website where you can sign up for your school or individually. They also have programs to help raise money for Gleaners including going there in painting ceramic bowls to be sold to raise money for Gleaners. The children have a great time and have a great feeling when they leave because they know they are volunteering and helping other children out.

    I worked for them through the Jefferson house program. Unlike the Salvation Army ARC (which only pays clients a dollar per week to start and a max of 24 dollars per week, which is slave labor) we were payed within labor law standards. Not only that but we were treated kindly and with respect. The friars were very much into their vows of poverty and obedience to rome and and never asked us to put forth more effort than they would put forward themselves. And the sheer volume of help they were able to give to families and individuals in need just boggles my mind. God bless Br. Rob, Br. Gary, Br. Dejin, Br. Igor and all the others who selflessly give their entire lives in service of others without the expectation of a single cent of personal compensation. God bless the Blessed Solanus Casey and every thing he started all those decades ago and what it has grown into.

    Great place to spend a few hours giving back to the community. Register on-line and sign-up for one of the short shifts on one of the food banks doing warehouse work. Get ready to share a good experience with good people.

    Wonderful organization. You get more than you give when you volunteer or donate here. The staff and fellow volunteers are always amazing. They do amazing work! There are many ways to give your time. Highly recommend!!

    This the oldest organization of its kind in the United States. They deliver food to hungry people. The building at Besufait is historical in that it used to house an automobile manufacturer. The building dates to the early twentieth century and heavy timbers and beautiful floors are throughout. They operate a world class radio dispatched distribution network. Original paintings by founder Gene Gonyo are displayed in the stairwell.

    This woman told me she'd give me something to help me for a couple days. Excuse me I'm trying to be more Godly. I received a bag of split pea 4 cans of diced tomatoes 2 bags of raisins and 2 cans of peaches. I got home and opened up that bag 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

👍👍 This is a location for food distribution for the needy. I've been here the last five years once month. The people, the volunteers, are some of the most compassionate and welcoming people I've ever met. If you have a need for emergency food go ahead and contact these people you won't regret it!
