Frequently Asked Questions

No! Many of our deliveries will be small enough to fit in any vehicle. When you arrange a volunteer shift through Glean Kentucky, they will be sure to match you up to a delivery you can manage.

We request that volunteers bring bags or cardboard boxes to help transport the produce to the community partners.

Glean Kentucky will connect you with someone at the donation site that you can touch base with before your shift to ensure there is something for you to pick up.

Pick-Up Instructions

Step One

Use the scale to WEIGH the produce you are collecting.

Step Two

Send a TEXT MESSAGE to Glean with these details:

  • Location of the pickup

  • Total weight of the donation

  • Type of  produce you are collecting

  • Where you are taking it

Step Three

Leave the crate at the donation site and use the boxes or bags you brought to TRANSPORT the donation to its final destination at one of our community partner organizations.
