PHILOMATH COMMUNITY GLEANERS THE PHILOMATH COMMUNITY GLEANERS HELP TO FEED THE HUNGRY BY HARVESTING LOCAL FOOD THAT WOULD OTHERWISE GO TO WASTE AND DISTRIBUTING IT BACK TO GLEANER MEMBERS, WHO ARE OFTEN THE MOST VULNERABLE CITIZENS IN OUR SERVICE AREA. AMONG OUR GLEANERS ARE SENIORS ON FIXED INCOME, PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, AND FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN. GLEANER VOLUNTEERS SHARE THE FOOD AND FIREWOOD THEY HARVEST WITH "ADOPTEES," PEOPLE WHO ARE UNABLE TO PHYSICALLY CONTRIBUTE THE REQUIRED TIME AND EFFORT OF GLEANING. BESIDES THE INCOME ELIGIBILITY, GLEANERS HAVE A WORK REQUIREMENT TO MAINTAIN THEIR MEMBERSHIP. WOOD SHARING IS ALSO A COMPONENT OF THE GLEANERS PROGRAM. DONATED FIREWOOD IS CUT, COLLECTED, AND SHARED AMONG GROUP MEMBERS AND OTHERS WHO NEED WOOD AS A FUEL SOURCE. GLEANERS OPERATE IN AFFILIATION WITH LINN BENTON FOOD SHARE. IN 2019, PHILOMATH COMMUNITY GLEANERS SERVED 465 INDIVIDUALS AND 84 ADOPTEE FAMILIES, AND PROCESSED 902,627 POUNDS OF FOOD, INCLUDING 55,037 POUNDS TO PARTNER AGENCIES. GLEANERS DONATED 16,383 HOURS OF WORK AND DONATED 21,152 MILES.
