Today marks Giving Tuesday, a day dedicated to making a genuine impact in the lives of those in need. This year, the Gleaners Community Food Bank is stepping up to the plate alongside The Heat and Warmth Fund, which is hosting a telethon to raise funds for those battling adversity.
In 2025, Gleaners made significant strides, distributing over 47 million pounds of food to communities in need. Last year alone, the organization served more than 1 million households, proving that their commitment to alleviating hunger is unwavering.
As we celebrate this day of giving, there are numerous ways you can contribute. Every dollar you donate to Gleaners provides six meals to families facing food insecurity. This means that even a small contribution can make a meaningful difference in someone’s life during challenging times.
If financial donations are not an option for you, Gleaners welcomes volunteers who wish to donate their time and energy. Volunteering at distribution centers not only supports the food bank’s operations but also allows you to connect with your community and witness firsthand the impact of your efforts.
To learn more about how to get involved, watch our video showcasing the incredible work that Gleaners Community Food Bank is doing. Together, we can foster a spirit of generosity and compassion this Giving Tuesday, ensuring that no one in our community goes hungry.
