How you can celebrate Giving Tuesday with Gleaners Community Food Bank

It’s Giving Tuesday -- a day to make a real difference in people’s lives.

While The Heat and Warmth Fund is holding a telethon, the Gleaners Community Food Bank is also stepping up to help.

In 2025, Gleaners distributed over 47 million pounds of food. Last year, it served more than 1 million households. And there are different ways you can help.

Every dollar you donate provides six meals to families in need. If you can’t afford to donate, you can also donate your time by volunteering at distribution centers or you can donate nonperishable food items.

Kristin Sokul with Gleaners joined Local 4 Live on Tuesday. You can watch the full interview at the beginning of this article.
