They Came, They Saw, They Gleaned

Kudos to Willow Canyon High School in Surprise. Last weekend a group of 90 volunteers, including students, staff, and parents, gleaned citrus trees in the Sun City area. When they had finished, a total of 40,380 pounds of citrus had been donated to St. Mary's Food Bank. The Food Bank, which is hoping to collect 2.5 million pounds of citrus by March 31, will use the citrus both for their food boxes and to trade to other food banks for local fruits and veggies (e.g., potatoes, apples, and onions).
