Local volunteers for Ozarks Food Harvest’s Glean Team prepare garden beds for crops March 2. In its third season, the team is part of the food bank’s Full Circle Gardens program, which addresses food insecurity across southwest Missouri by improving access to fresh produce. Last year, volunteers worked for 1,400 hours at community gardens and farms to harvest nearly 23,000 pounds of produce. The program is on track to expand its donations by 5,000 pounds.
