We are so thankful for a partner like Jordano’s to help fight hunger in Santa Barbara County.
Porterville Gleaners
Porterville Gleaners is a volunteer run non-profit organization whose goal is to help alleviate hunger by collecting edible, surplus food that would be thrown away and distributing it to agencies that feed the hungry. The concept of picking up and redistributing food is a simple weapon in the fight against hunger. Though our program does not address the root causes of poverty and socio-economic inequalities, we do have a major impact on hunger locally.

This CA Wildfire recovery project was funded in part by a grant from the American Red Cross.
