Skagit Gleaners
This program is an amazing community of families helping each other and the community as a whole. Families cooperate in rescuing and redistributing food and other essential items that everyone can access. Classes and community help families achieve financial goals and build a healthy lifestyle. You'll be surprised how much they offer (at no cost!).
