Gleaning

In Macallah Texas, “senior snowbirds” who move south for the winter have organized themselves into “gleaning crews.”   They go to clean up recently harvested fields to pick up missed produce left to rot.   Half what they glean is for other seniors and the other half is donated to the poor.   Hundreds of tons have been gathered and distributed to the needy.
