About Us:

Urban Gleaners is a small, volunteer organization that picks up edible, surplus food from farmers markets, restaurants, grocery stores and event sites and delivers it to local agencies that feed the hungry. We also deliver large quantities of food to elementary schools throughout Greater Portland, where more than 80% of families are living below the poverty line. Hunger is not a problem of scarce resources but inefficient distribution. The concept of picking up and redistributing food is a simple yet powerful weapon in the fight against hunger.
