A network of gleaning volunteers working with Island Grown Initiative harvest surplus produce on the Vineyard, from greens to fruit. The crops are then donated to feed families around the Island.

One of the final gleans of the season was held a few days before Thanksgiving at the Vineyard Open Land Foundation cranberry bogs off Lambert's Cove Road. Like all the produce gleaned this year, the cranberries will be donated to community groups, including senior centers.
