Our Story Begins
Who We Are
Lebanon Gleaners was founded in 1980 by a group of like-minded individuals who saw a need in their community regarding food insecurity, and they decided to help. With the help of Linn-Benton Food Share and Oregon Food Bank our group was created.
Currently the need for food is extremely high with 1 in 4 citizens experiencing food insecurity. The city of Lebanon experiences a slightly higher rate of 13% of our community experiencing food insecurity. That is why a group like ours is vital to the health of our citizens and surrounding communities.
Our mission is to provide food in a safe environment for all people in need by building a community of like-minded individuals who understand the ongoing issue of food insecurity.
Our Mission
Lebanon Gleaners, located in Lebanon, Oregon, is a dedicated force in the battle against food insecurity. Our mission is to foster a sense of community by providing secure food access to those in need. We empower individuals to address the critical issue of hunger through awareness and action.
