Gather for a Hunger Free Community, a food security organization based in Portsmouth, NH, leads gleaning for the Seacoast region. Gather is the fiscal sponsor of NH Gleans, and gleaning is one of the ways we work to connect local farms and community members on the Seacoast to build a more food secure community. Gather also runs its own gleaning operation, working with farmers in Rockingham and Strafford County, as well as York County, ME . Our gleaning and gardening coordinator works with volunteers to harvest surplus crops and can then offer that produce at our pantry and mobile markets, and use in our C4C programs. Gather has a Grow 4 Gather program, which encourages residents to grow at home or in community gardens and donate some or all of that produce to Gather.
