As a small nonprofit organization doing big things, we rely on our supporters and volunteers to help build the strong financial foundation on which GleanKY operates. If not for you, we would not have been able to save 750,000 pounds of produce for the food-insecure families and individuals of Central Kentucky. No matter the amount, GleanKY greatly appreciates the donations of time and money to make this organization great!
Recently, at an outreach event, an older woman approached our table and made a generous financial donation to GleanKY. It was not the amount but the heartwarming story of that donation that moved us. Her husband was known locally to hand out silver dollars to children, a generous treat for the youth. Before he passed, he had heard of GleanKY and the mission to nourish the hungry. Motivated by the mission, the gentleman saved a considerable number of silver dollars for GleanKY. Following his unfortunate passing, his wife brought a bag of silver dollars and relayed the awesome story of her husband’s life and commitment to help those less fortunate.
This story is merely one of the many heartwarming stories of GleanKY supporters. Every generous contribution to our organization sustains our mission and fuels our expansion into other parts of Kentucky as well as within Lexington. As we approach the Good Giving Challenge, a nearly two-month fundraising campaign that starts November 13th, GleanKY remembers the sacrifice and support of our ‘Glean Team’! We encourage our gleaners to participate in this campaign and donate. With your support, we can strengthen our mission and expand our reach in Kentucky. Just like the couple who, inspired by our mission, gave from their hearts and from their dedication to help others, we humbly ask for your support so that we can continue doing big things to eliminate both food insecurity and food waste in our state!
