It’s Peak Season for Our Market Gleaning Team

The market has been busy the past few weeks with folks loading up on greens, zucchini, and the first of summer’s tomatoes and peppers, but our gleaners have still been able to collect 600+ pounds of produce every Sunday for the Ballard Food Bank. Our hauls will increase significantly as we move into late August, and we could always use more volunteers to help with collecting the produce and sorting it!
