Because No One Should Go Hungry . . . Gleanings From The Harvest is a vital and necessary food procurement and distribution network that provides nourishing food to those who most need it. By maximizing relationships with major food distributors and producers,
Gleanings effectively distributes nutritious food not only to the truly destitute but to many families in Galveston County who are considered to be the "working poor."
ACTIVISM / Heroes With Heart .. It all began with a 3 a.m. meeting Mark Davis had been asleep, but he woke up, distinctly hearing something in his head. "I heard this voice, and it said to go to breakfast." Article Gleanings Grows . . . Gleanings From The Harvest is in the
process of renovating a 11,500-square-foot building, once occupied by
the Texas City Sun, to house Galveston County's first countywide food
bank.
"This has been talked about for 20 years," Mark Davis, Executive
Director, said. Texas City agreed in 2007 to lease the empty building,
624 Fourth Avenue N., to Gleanings From The Harvest, and work has been
ongoing since then to ready the facility as a "one-stop shop" for
food, personal hygiene and cleaning supplies. Once finished, the new
facility will boost the organization's ability to store and distribute
food, including refrigerated and frozen items like dairy products,
meat and eggs. Gleanings From The Harvest, a nonprofit organization
that partners with the Houston Food Bank, stores food at a small
building in Galveston at 903 53rd St. that was flooded when Hurricane
Ike came ashore at Galveston on September 13, 2008.
