Join us for a Glean in Mt. Dora, FL! (Multiple Dates)

Great Scott Farms is graciously extending a field to harvest fresh produce for families in need. This is a great way to way to give back, enjoy the outdoors, and share in meaningful community service. All are welcome! The more hands we have to help- the more produce we can recover! Produce is available for anyone in need. We are beginning many gleans at 11am due to private gleans that are scheduled on the same day. The private groups will only be gleaning for an hour so there should be plenty of produce left over to rescue. If you would like to be a receiving agency please reach out to the leading coordinator or Megan at (863) 224-0403. 🌱 What to Bring: ✅ Closed-toe shoes (required) ✅ Comfortable clothing that can get messy ✅ Hat, sunscreen, and gloves (optional but helpful) ✅ A reusable water bottle to stay hydrated 📢 RSVP or Questions?
