What is your time worth when you volunteer at Sus Manos Gleaners for a 2 hour session?
During our very first year of operation, working with volunteers who served only on Saturday mornings, we processed and distributed a total of 50 blue barrels of produce:
- 3 barrels to a Mexico orphanage
- 5 barrels to Caribbean Mercy Ship Ministry
- 42 barrels to Northern Haiti Christian Mission
Since that humble beginning, this outreach has continued to grow through the faithful efforts of volunteers and the generosity of farmers. By 2022, we celebrated a major milestone, shipping our 275th barrel, which equates to nearly 1.8 million servings provided to people facing food insecurity around the world. That same year, we were especially grateful for the opportunity to partner with Barnabas Aid. In March and August of 2022, a combined 682,000 servings were sent to Ukraine, bringing critical relief to those impacted by war and limited access to food.
We have now passed over 14 million servings, distributed across 19 countries. This ongoing growth is made possible by the continued dedication of volunteers and the steady provision of fresh produce, allowing us to keep sending life-giving food to those in need.
