WHO WE ARE

The Creston Valley Gleaners Society is a community-focused nonprofit organization dedicated to providing essential support to individuals, families, and other organizations in the Creston Valley. From our humble beginnings gleaning surplus food from local farms, we have grown to operate two storefronts, a food bank, and a food recovery program, all powered by our amazing volunteers and the generosity of our community.

OUR MISSION

To lend a hand where most needed and to treat, with dignity and caring, those individuals in our community who are less fortunate.
