    @SuziQ113, I really admire what you're doing. Where is this? I've done a lot of charity work but never knew this was even a thing..............I'd love to know more!

    Have a great Sunday everyone! This group is the BEST!!!!!

    I am in South Florida and the fields yesterday were located in Delray Beach. I found out about this through a friend who is a Junior League member. It started with one man who asked a farmer if a group could glean one of its fields for its soup kitchen and has turned in to a major source of produce for food banks and soup kitchens in Palm Beach County. Here's a link if you would like to see what the group does and the schedule.

    @SuziQ113 A thumbs up to you for the gleaning work. :) I live in farm country, where volunteers glean apples and other produce every year and then donate everything to the food bank, community soup kitchen, and other charities.

    I am so glad to hear this. I really wish there was more of it going on. We could all put a big dent in the hunger of others around the country/world.

    I think I get more out of it - simply love the open space and the meditation time it allows me. And, the big bonus is the calorie burn!
