Northern Lights recipient the Prairie Gleaners

Location: Medicine Hat, Alberta

The Prairie Gleaners are a group of lively volunteers in Medicine Hat who preserve and distribute unmarketable produce to feed the hungry.

The Prairie Gleaners plant is open 5 days a week, year-round. Thirty faithful volunteers tirelessly work to ensure thousands of vegetables are dehydrated, bundled and distributed worldwide to feed those in need, making a profound impact on food security.

Its dedication and impact make the Prairie Gleaners a truly worthy recipient of Northern Lights Volunteer Recognition.
