Since 2008 YES! has been taking annual week-long treks to Gleanings for the Hungry. in Dinuba, California, south of Fresno.
Beyond the very fulfilling work that is accomplished, the fellowship and spiritual encouragement are incredibly rich. Not to mention the wonderful food and accommodations!
Each winter adults serve at the Gleanings vegetable soup plant to mix dehydrated vegetables donated in bulk and mixed together to make a very nutritious soup mix.
The soup is packaged in quart and gallon plastic bags which are then packed in barrels or boxes and sent world wide with God's Word to help the poor and needy. Missionary organizations use the soup to reach families, in feeding programs, schools and orphanages.
Quilts are also made at Gleanings, also going out internationally to people in need.

As you can imagine, with the volume of rain this winter and spring, weeds aplenty have sprung up on this beautiful campus dedicated to prayer.
Continue uphill and park near the main field. Wear grubbies, and please bring gloves and small weeding shovels/trowels, if you have them. Feel free to bring an extra set for those (like the students) who likely don't have them.
