Mission

At Urban Gleaners we collect delicious, fresh food before it can go to waste. And we get it to people who need it. Pure and simple.

What They Do

Urban Gleaners successfully addresses two of the major systemic issues plaguing our country during these unprecedented times: eliminating food waste while simultaneously redistributing this food to our community members who need it most. We proudly identify not only as a hunger-relief organization but also as a highly successful environmental sustainability agency.

Our role is to provide a critical link between businesses or farms that have excess food and the food insecure people who need it. Wasted food degrades the human experience and damages lives; we are committed to repairing that harm and preventing it from afflicting others.

Unlike traditional food banks and food pantries, we offer a range of nutritious, healthy foods (produce, meat, dairy, grains) that children need for healthy development directly to food-insecure families, and we do it in an equitable way that celebrates food as a fundamental right in a just society.
