Message from the Director
2016 was an amazing year for Heartside Gleaning Initiative. Our efforts to raise awareness about the need for healthy food faced by those in the Heartside and surrounding neighborhoods led to increased understanding across the region about why access to healthy food is so important. Although as much as 40% of food in America is wasted, at Heartside Gleaning we are privileged to see local farmers, many of whom live on low incomes, generously donate their excess produce to improve the health of the less fortunate. Thank you to everyone who helped to make our 2016 gleaning season successful through generous donations of time and resources, access to distribution locations, and opportunities for us to share our mission. Recipients of the produce consistently express their gratefulness for your generosity. With your support we are fulfilling our motto of “Good Food, Cultivating Community.” With sincere gratitude, Lisa G. Sisson Director |
