About Us
The North Okanagan Valley Gleaners Society was created in the summer of 2007 by a group of individuals who had become acutely aware of the problem of world hunger and the fact that the Okanagan valley is rich in food supplies. Much of our local food production unfortunately goes to waste. The desire to make use of these gleanings to feed the hungry in other countries convicted them to do something. Distribution is done by reputable and established Christian aid organizations who have partnered with us. At our plant in Lavington we produce 13 million meals per year from donated produce. We also gather and distribute worldwide, surplus medical equipment. Our Gleaners Used Furniture & Appliance Store in Vernon receives donated furniture which is sold to raise funds. The store also targets a donation of 10% of furniture for those in need in Greater Vernon.
