During the month of October Boy Scouts took part in the “Good Turn for America” program, going door to door to collect food for Gleanings.

Below, Galveston Boy Scouts assist with the distribution of more than 10,000 pounds of potatoes to 100 plus households in a little more than two hours time on Saturday, Oct. 16. The potatoes were provided by the Society of St. Andrews called Gleaning the fields to feed the hungry, and they were trucked in by a trucking ministry to be distributed by Gleanings From the Harvest for Galveston.

Under the leadership of Mark Davis and the late Pastor Bill Ritter, with outstanding support from the community, Gleanings from the Harvest has grown from a “tiny seedling” in a few people’s heart, to a viable organization, prepared to assist Galveston agencies in meeting the needs of those who are hungry. Organizational meetings have been going on for some time now. The first meeting of the new board met on Jan. 22 at William Temple Episcopal Center. The community, faith-based organization has recently moved it’s offices from William Temple Episcopal Center to its warehouse site at 53rd and Broadway.
