Gleanings 2026
About Gleanings
What is Gleanings? Our youth mission trip!! We road trip down to Gleanings For the Hungry, a Youth With A Mission (YWAM) base in Dinuba, CA, that works to feed hungry people all around the world. During the summertime, mission-minded volunteers dry and package peaches that are not fit to be sold in stores. Everything that is produced is given to partnered ministries around the world to be distributed to impoverished areas along with the message of the gospel, with the love of Jesus!
What do we do? We start each morning with breakfast & worship. During the day we work in the "plant" processing peaches. Discarding the unusable and preparing the usable fruit to be dried on trays in the sun. In the evenings we have pool time, worship, & small groups.
