November Farm Gleaning

“Gleaning” is the traditional biblical practice of gathering crops that would otherwise be left in the fields to rot, or be plowed under after harvest. Commissioned by Christ will join The St. Lucy Project and Catholic Charities to glean crops at Parker Farms in the Northern Neck of Virginia. These crops have been donated by farmers and will be transported back to the St. Lucy Project warehouse and distributed to local, hungry residents within 48 hours of picking the produce. Children must be 10 years of age or older. NOTE:  There is a chance the gleaning trip may be cancelled on short notice. The farmer may not have any crops available for harvest at that time. We’ll let you know as soon as we find out.
