A new program will take volunteers out into the field — literally — to glean unharvested vegetables before they perish so they may be taken to food pantries managed by Inland Valley Hope Partners.
Inland Valley Hope Partners is a faith-based nonprofit that manages an emergency shelter, four food pantries, and a farmers market in Pomona that provides low-income families access to fresh produce. According to the IVHP website, the organization serves around 75,000 people per year with a staff of nine and a volunteer force numbering approximately 150 people.
