Skagit Gleaners

Mission

Skagit Gleaners’ vision is to empower families with programs and resources that foster a community of sustainability and resilience. 

Skagit Gleaners' mission is to address food waste and its associated impacts on the environment while building an equitable food system. 

Description

Skagit Gleaners provides abundant food and household merchandise/clothing to frugal, waste-conscious, and working families. We do this by rescuing surplus food and product from local grocery stores, manufacturers, restaurants, and thrift stores in Skagit County - keeping this abundance out of overflowing landfills. Our 501c3 non-profit organization increases the financial security net for families by offering these unique grocery rescue programs to our community. In addition to offering immediate relief for families, Skagit Gleaners helps families achieve a lifestyle of sustainability, financial freedom, gratitude, and community. In 2022, we distributed 2 million pounds of abundant food to families in need.
