It’s Giving Tuesday, a special day dedicated to making a real impact in the lives of those in need. This year, the Gleaners Community Food Bank is stepping up to the challenge, joining forces with initiatives like The Heat and Warmth Fund, which is holding a telethon to raise funds.
In an impressive 2025, Gleaners managed to distribute over 47 million pounds of food, providing essential resources to families in the local community. Last year alone, the organization served more than 1 million households, demonstrating its commitment to alleviating hunger and food insecurity.
There are various ways to support Gleaners and contribute to their mission this Giving Tuesday. Perhaps the most impactful way is through financial donations. Every dollar donated can provide six meals to families in need, magnifying your contribution and helping to ensure that no one goes hungry this holiday season.
If making a financial contribution isn’t feasible for you this year, there’s still a way to get involved. Gleaners also welcomes volunteers to help with food distribution efforts. Donating your time is just as valuable and allows you to support your community in a meaningful way.
This Giving Tuesday, consider making a difference with Gleaners Community Food Bank. Whether through a monetary donation or by volunteering your time, every small action counts in the fight against hunger. Together, we can create a stronger, nourished community.
