The Orlando 1st Platoon will be heading out to a FL farm to glean cucumbers to donate to our food pantry partner. All tasks will be able to be done using social distancing. We recommend you bring and wear a personal mask. Please go online and complete the Volunteer form for our partner: https://endhunger.org/florida-calendar/ . Clink the link. Create a profile. Once you create your profile the first time you will only need to login with your email address and first name.

Parking Information
The address above is for the farmers market which will be on your left hand side. Do not turn in there but instead continue straight for about a mile. On your right hand side you will see a DEAD END sign. Immediately after, turn left into the field and park right there. I will have red gleaning flags near the entrance as well.
