2nd Annual GleanUp Day, Oceanside — May 11, 2019
ProduceGood partnered with City of Oceanside for a community-wide gleaning event. Residents were invited to glean their own citrus trees, or have ProduceGood harvest their orchards. All the bounty was brought to El Corazon Senior Center and distributed amongst local feeding agencies. Together we harvested over 8,000 pounds of nutritious produce, equaling 24,000 servings, and keeping 4 tons out of the landfill! See what community looks like!
