While I was becoming focused on helping to get GleanSLO off the ground, someone close to me was in a challenging situation and needed food assistance for their family from their local food pantry. I learned how little fresh produce was available to them. We live in the land of plenty yet people are hungry.
Carolyn Eicher, GleanSLO Co-Founder
Carolyn Eicher is the heart, soul and co-founding innovator of a community movement that led to the creation of GleanSLO. She would be the first to describe it as a team effort that took advantage of dozens of creative women and men who wanted to rise to the challenge of rescuing food in a community where so many go hungry.
