Skagit Gleaners is a community cooperative food recovery program dedicated to empowering families through sustainability and resilience. The organization addresses food waste and its environmental impacts while promoting an equitable food system. Many families have found Skagit Gleaners to be a significant support during difficult times, providing food, clothing, and even holiday meal items. Members can shop for a small fee, with options to volunteer in exchange for access to food and other resources. Volunteer opportunities include gleaning seasonal fruits and helping sort clothes, making it easy for members to contribute.
The cooperative fosters a strong sense of community, with a welcoming atmosphere and supportive staff.
