Vision
All people in the New River Valley have adequate access to nutritious, affordable, and culturally appropriate food (in particular, fresh fruits and vegetables).
Mission
The New River Valley Glean Team aims to feed and nourish the hungry in our community by assembling people and organizations to gather and recover excess food from local farms and other establishments, and to distribute these foods to those in need as well as to organizations that serve the hungry.
Members
The NRV Glean Team invites participation from anyone who supports and advances our mission
