In the spirit of compassion and urgency, Giving Tuesday has arrived, encouraging individuals and communities to come together to make a difference. This year, the Gleaners Community Food Bank is taking center stage, joining efforts with The Heat and Warmth Fund as they host a telethon aimed at providing essential resources to those in need.
In 2025, Gleaners Community Food Bank achieved a remarkable milestone, distributing over 47 million pounds of food to combat hunger across the region. Last year, they served more than 1 million households, proving that collective action can truly transform lives. As this important day of giving unfolds, Gleaners calls on the community to step up in whatever way they can—through financial contributions or volunteer efforts.
For each dollar you donate to Gleaners, six meals are provided to families facing food insecurity. This staggering impact highlights the power of even the smallest contributions. Whether you’re a long-time supporter or considering your first gift, your generosity directly influences countless lives, offering hope and nourishment to those who need it most.
If financial assistance isn’t within your means, consider contributing your time. Gleaners is always in need of dedicated volunteers to help with food distribution and other activities that support their mission. Your willingness to lend a hand is equally valuable and can help build a stronger, more resilient community.
Join in the celebration of Giving Tuesday and let’s make a significant impact together. Visit Gleaners Community Food Bank’s website to learn more about how you can help today!
