SLO: GleanSLO.org and Food Bank!

The continuing saga of Housing, Hunger and Homelessness. We encourage the people of SLO to participate in GleanSLO.org, a Food Bank program to pick unused or unwanted local crops used for to stock their warehouse with fresh produce for those who are underfed.

My wife Sue and I participated in our first "Glean" event last Saturday 7/19/2014 at Rick's Avocado Orchard in Morro Bay. During the event, I had a brief discussion with Jen Miller of GleanSLO/Food Bank. In it, I informed her that I learned about GleanSLO from our meetup.com group, "The Common Good" (which I highly encourage SLO folks to investigate). 

The Common Good group seeks to encourage activities that unite us and do not divide us. "Gleaning" is one such activity. In addition to benefiting all of society, it also enables us to get back in touch with our hunter/gatherer roots, a time (not so long ago!) when our ancestors developed their humanity. Thanks GleanSLO (and Food Bank), for your wonderful work to enhance the common good. Cheers!

The Saturday 7/19/2014 Glean event was covered on the front page of today's Tribune (7/23/2014). The article features several photos by me, and so does this web link about the event which you can read by clicking here.
