Since the Collective formed in 2020, we have gleaned (harvested) well over 100,000 pounds of surplus food from local farms that we donate to Holyoke food pantries. We depend on our incredible volunteers to make this happen. Consider becoming a volunteer. Now, in 2024 we are also growing food to donate in partnership with Western MA SURJ and their volunteers. See our photo gallery of some of our gleaning adventures below!
