Recap: Yale Day of Service #1: CROS Gleaning Project
Saturday, April 1, 2023
8:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Location: Agricultural field near US 441/FL 7 and 87th Place in Boynton Beach.
CROS Gleaning is a program of CROS Ministries, in partnership with area food
banks and other food distribution agencies in Palm Beach and Martin Counties. It
is a food recovery strategy that allows produce that is below top-market grade or
unmarketable, but equally nutritious and beneficial to be harvested and distributed
to the food insecure of Palm Beach and Martin Counties instead of being plowed
back into the soil.
Volunteers picked produce in the field.
