Harvesting Food for Our Community
CROS Gleaning events take place on Saturday mornings from late November through most of July. Sunday mornings from mid- January to mid-April. Large groups can schedule a gleaning event on a Monday or Friday with advance notice. Mango gleaning in June will have some weekday dates.
Gleaning events are typically 8:45 a.m. until noon.
Examples of the produce gleaned include beets, cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet corn, green peppers, potatoes, avocados, mangoes, and whatever else might become available to us. This produce is then distributed free of charge by the Palm Beach County Food Bank to local hunger programs.
For more information about Gleaning, contact Keith Cutshall at kcutshall@crosministries.org.

Juno Beach beach cleanup
Join Lynne Wells and her group of Blue Friends each month on the 3rd Saturday from 8:30 - 10 a.m. for the Juno Beach beach cleanup. Following 1-hour of cleaning the beach, join us for a light breakfast sponsored by Trader Joe's, Palm Beach Gardens and Another Broken Egg Café in Harbourside, Jupiter. Complimentary coffee by Oceana Coffee will also be served. Please meet on the back deck of LMC (Loggerhead Marine Life Center). Bring a bucket to collect the trash and garden gloves if you have them. Help us keep the very beach that our turtles call home free from trash and litter. Please RSVP to Lynne at bluefriends@marinelife.org.
