This document summarizes Gleaners Food Bank's programs that provide food to those in need, including backpacks for children, food for the elderly, and mobile pantries that bring food to areas with limited access. It then describes a volunteer event where a team sorted and packed over 4 tons of meat for delivery to local food pantries to help address food insecurity in their service area. The document concludes by thanking volunteers and noting that prize money will fund meals for food insecure children.
