It's Keen to Glean . . . and Help Those in Need

We all know that citrus (grapefruit, oranges, lemons, etc.) is a great source of vitamins. For a long time, volunteers have helped the Food Bank by gleaning citrus; last year we collected almost 2 millions pounds.

However, we always seem to have more trees then volunteers to gleam them. So, for the third year, we are asking people to glean their trees and bring the fruit to us. On Feb 4, from 9a-2p, we will be at three locations (Arcadia, the Central Corridor, and Peoria) collecting citrus. Visit http://www.firstfoodbank.org/ for more info, including the exact locations.

This is a great opportunity for neighbors to get together, glean citrus, and help those in need.
