Glean Kentucky Glean Kentucky gathers and redistributes excess fresh produce to Kentuckians facing food insecurity.

Glean Kentucky believes that gleaning, or collecting, fruits and vegetables that would otherwise go to waste is key to alleviating food insecurity and hunger. We work with local farms, orchards, farmers' markets, grocery stores, supermarkets, and individual gardeners to provide hunger programs throughout Central Kentucky with fresh, edible fruits and vegetables.
