We buy food directly from farmers and distribute it to food access and hunger relief organizations.
Gleaning
We redirect unused and surplus food to hunger relief programs.
Gardening
We support home gardeners by supplying a wide variety of resources.
Video: WCB Garlic Gleaning
WABI TV5 perfectly captured the spirit of this August’s massive garlic gleaning that yielded 3000 pounds of garlic. What is it about garlic that brings people together? Thank you to all of the volunteers, gleaning organizations from across the state, and our local partners for harvesting this valuable, shelf-stable crop for food pantries and other Maine hunger relief organizations.
In Waldo County, 19.5 percent of all people experience food insecurity. That is 1 in 5 residents.
