Philomath Gleaners is a self help program that works with Linn Benton Food Share providing supplemental food and firewood. This program requires participants that are physically able to volunteer 10 hours a month to qualify. They are seniors on fixed incomes, families with children, and people with disabilities. Last year, more than 5,500 people received a total of over 2,000,000 pounds of food (that would otherwise have gone to waste) through the fourteen gleaning groups of Linn Benton Food Share.
Gleaners pick up where farmers leave off. Peggy Clark is the interim Program Coordinator.
