GleanSLO Program Coordinators Jeanine and Carolyn are pictured here with the group of attendees from last weekend’s state-wide gleaning/harvesting conference sponsored by Village Harvest in San Jose. There were over 50 participants representing 25 different gleaning organizations.
Salem Harvest board member, Dick Yates, who built and designed GleanSLO’s website and online registration system, flew down to attend this conference. Carolyn and Jeanine were able to meet him and thank him in person for all the time he devoted to GleanSLO over many, many months!! GleanSLO would not have been able to grow at this rate without his dedication, knowledge, and patience!
It was an amazing experience to be around so many people with similar interests, challenges, and passion, and to continue developing a gleaning network.
