Come join us for an afternoon of gleaning, sorting, and bagging produce at the DC area’s largest produce supplier to food banks!

The Mid-Atlantic Gleaning Network (MAGNET) is based in Alexandria, Virginia, with satellite offices in Maryland. The Gleaning Network links farmers who have crops that are edible but not marketable with those who distribute food to the needy through the work of volunteer gleaners. Their staff organizes teams of people to go to local farms to harvest fresh nutritious fruits and vegetables to be given to low income individuals, families, as well as agencies or communities that serve the hungry. MAGNET is the main produce supplier for frequent CCW partner AFAC.

This event is family friendly! Please remember to bring your coats because some of the day’s tasks will include gleaning produce outdoors. Other tasks include sorting and bagging produce, and other light manual labor. The venue can accommodate up to 20 volunteers.
