Description:
Senior Gleaners Inc. (Food Bank) began operations in Sacramento in 1976 when thirty like-minded seniors saw people going hungry while millions of pounds of un-harvested food were being wasted in farmers’ fields, orchards, and in people’s back yards. Together they began gleaning leftover fruits and vegetables and shared it with the poor. They quickly organized into a grassroots operation naming themselves Senior Gleaners. By December of that year those 30 seniors grew into an association of more than 900 volunteers gleaning produce from fields and orchards that otherwise would have spoiled. Soon thereafter, they formalized their mission statement and incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit. By partnering with other charities to distribute food to people in need, Senior Gleaners Inc. (SGI) expanded its distribution area to service a total of twelve counties in Northern California. Senior Gleaners' mission is to collect and distribute surplus food for the hungry in our community. Our ultimate goal is to end hunger in the communities we serve.
