Mission of Skagit Gleaners


Skagit Gleaners, a tax exempt, non-profit, organization established in 1984, is dedicated to gleaning and food recovery, reclaiming food products that would otherwise be discarded in order to supplement the nutritional and economic needs of its members.

Our mission is three fold: 1) To glean, receive, process, and distribute food products to member without regard to ethnic groupings, gender, age or income. 2) To provide the opportunity for active involvement of all members and management , unlike food bands; and 3) To successfully create a volunteer network of people who mutually respect and help each other, fostering pride in themselves and others.
