Pierce County Gleaning Project
About Renton Community Church
Renton Community Church is an inclusive and vibrant faith-based organization committed to making a positive impact in Pierce County, Washington. We believe in the power of community and the importance of sharing love, compassion, and resources with those in need. As a leader in serving our community, we proudly introduce you to our Pierce County Gleaning Project.
What is the Pierce County Gleaning Project?
The Pierce County Gleaning Project is an initiative launched by Renton Community Church with the aim to reduce food waste and address food insecurity in our community. Gleaning is the process of collecting leftover fruits, vegetables, and other crops from farms, gardens, and orchards after the harvest. Through this project, we collaborate with local farmers, partnering organizations, and volunteers to harvest and distribute surplus produce to those in need.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create a sustainable and compassionate food system by preventing food waste and supporting individuals and families experiencing food insecurity in Pierce County. By bringing together volunteers and local farmers, we ensure that fresh, healthy produce reaches those who need it the most, while also promoting a sense of community and connection.
