Welcome Diane. Welcome FOOD GLEANING. Great to work with you today. Looking forward to introducing your Gleaners to our 3400 members, and our members to alternative sources of good food. My neighbor has an apple tree; invited the neighborhood to pick; my wife and I had applesauce last evening for dinner! Pretty cool.
