We invite individuals to help any morning. The plant is open year-round, 5 days a week from 8:30 a.m. until noon, as well as pre-arranged Saturdays from May to October and pre-arranged evenings in September and October for youth and adult groups. Gleaners is closed on Statutory Holidays. If you would like to participate for an evening, a few days and camp on site, or if you are a group booking of any kind, please call ahead and reserve a Gleaning event with us.
The work is suited to all youth aged 12 years and up, seniors, care groups and service groups. The majority of our volunteers are from the senior community. Refreshments are provided at coffee time. All necessary equipment such as aprons, knives and gloves are provided. Please wear appropriate clothing and shoes. (No open-toed sandals, CROCS or flip-flops). Bring your enthusiasm to do the work of converting our excess produce to feed hungry people.
Camping and RV's - to accommodate volunteers we have washrooms, showers and a kitchen. We have basic RV hookups and space for tenting and camping. Please call ahead and reserve a site.
