Faith Feeds routinely gleans from the Lexington Farmers Markets on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday afternoons, and from the Bluegrass Farmers Markets on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday (2 locations). It consists of obtaining boxes, arriving at the Market near closing, accepting donations from farmers and delivering them to a specified location - church or emergency food agency.
We currently need gleaners for the Lexington Farmers' Market on Thursdays (E. Maxwell and S. Broadway) and on Sundays (Southland Drive).
