Local Folks Podcast Season Two, Episode Six

Enthusiasm, grit, determination, intelligence and creativity are all qualities gleaners bring to their work gathering food and firewood to help low income people feed their families and heat their homes. But in the face of all the requirements and issues gleaners have to deal with in order to do the work they do, they need some assistance, and that help is provided by Linn Benton Food Share in Corvallis, Oregon. In this episode we learn how this assistance is given to gleaners, and why the philosophy underlying Food Shares approach makes them so effective at providing gleaners the tools and guidance they need to succeed in helping others.
