Gleaners Dispatch

People Helping People

During the last 24 years we have provided over $9 million in wholesale value of EXCESS fresh food from area vendors to well over 400,000 families in North Florida who have been challenged by hunger.

Our Mission & Cause

OUR MISSION IS VERY SIMPLE:

To challenge hunger by bringing relief to people on fixed but inadequate incomes:
Senior Citizens, Disabled, Single Parents, the Under-Employed or Unemployed between jobs.

Every day of the week Gleaners Dispatch Volunteers go to local wholesalers, retailers, and restaurants and “glean” (gather) EXCESS fresh food that would otherwise be disposed of, and redistribute the fresh food to families in need, trying to have it on someone’s table within 24-48 hours – free of charge.

Follow us on Facebook for info on Excess Loads

Contact Info

Occasionally Gleaners Dispatch will receive “Excess Loads” of items.  These items are usually meat or produce.  When this happens we post on Facebook where and when we will be there and the distribution times.  In the past we have used our Saturday site – 4151 Old Middleburg Road, 32210.  Usually they are evening times (around 6pm) so we can help as many people as possible.
