Read MoreThis year (2021) beginning with the last Thursday of January and continuing for eight weeks, Desert Garden’s Gleaning Ministry Team was able to pick and provide much more citrus for St. Mary’s Food Bank. During this period twenty-one volunteers helped with the gleaning putting in 200 hours of time. Eighty-six trees were gleaned providing 17,720 pounds of citrus for the food bank, who then distributed that citrus to families in need.
