GleanKY is a nonprofit organization in the civic and social sector based in Lexington, Kentucky, focused on redistributing surplus fruits and vegetables to alleviate food insecurity in Central Kentucky. Since their first gleaning in 2010, they have collected more than a million pounds of produce, diverting it from landfills and delivering it to hunger-fighting ministries, emergency food agencies, and neighborhood ambassadors. The work relies on partnerships with food sources and a volunteer network, and in 2015 they engaged hundreds of volunteers to support dozens of partner organizations across the region. The organization positions itself as a community-based effort that helps connect surplus produce with those in need, operating within the local food relief ecosystem. GleanKY serves the charitable and social services landscape in Kentucky, coordinating gleanings and distributions to support neighbors facing food insecurity.
