Gorge Gleaning is into its tenth year of collecting fresh fruits and vegetables that would normally go to waste from backyard fruit trees, public and private orchards and backyard gardens. Hannah Ladwig of the Gorge Grown Food Network, which Gorge Gleaning is a part of, says the produce goes to food banks and other groups that help those with need. Statistics show nearly 40% of fresh foods in the United States are wasted, while Ladwig says one in three people in the Gorge worry about where their next meal will come from. Those who would have grown fruits and vegetables that might go to waste, or who would like to help gather it, can go to gorgegleaning.com for more information.
