Program areas at Ruth's Gleanings
Gleaning program is where we bridge the gap between food waste and nutritional poverty by rescuing excess healthy, fresh food and distributing it to partner organizations who serve those in need. This is done at no cost to donors or recipients. Recipients include food pantries, soup kitchens, community centers, churches and mission houses.
Food hub program is a program to help aggregate, market and distribute fresh produce into the local system of emergency food providers.
Foodshare program is a healthy fresh produce box that is aggregated and distributed bi-weekly through marketing and sales of the food at wholesale cost to individuals and families. It is geared for low-income and snap/ebt participants.
