Boston Area Gleaners is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to supporting an equitable, just, and sustainable local food system. By working closely with farmers, volunteers, and hunger relief agencies, we work to power a supply chain from farms to those in need, reduce food waste, and promote long-term farm sustainability. 

Since our founding in 2004, we remain the region's only on-farm gleaning organization, and are uniquely poised to bridge a critical gap in our food system—between the more than 30% of crops that go unharvested in farmers' fields and the 1 in 7 Massachusetts residents (including 1 in 5 households with children) that are food-insecure.

Throughout the growing season, we organize volunteer trips to local farms to harvest and pack high-quality fruits and vegetables that would otherwise be plowed under—and distribute that food to frontline agencies serving food-insecure families.
