Gleanings for the Hungry is a mercy ministry of Youth With A Mission.
Our mission is to feed the hungry of the world, both physically and spiritually.
A large part of fulfilling our mission is the procurement and production of shelf-stable food. In the summer, we dry peaches and nectarines that are not pristine enough for sale. Year round, we produce a dehydrated soup mix, mostly from donated products. We are a destination for all ages to come and volunteer, working together for eternal impact in a hurting world. Everything we produce is given free of charge to partner ministries around the world, to be distributed in impoverished areas, with the love of Jesus.
