The Gleaners have been packing grocery boxes in partnership with @foodforfreeorg for over a year and a half and the project is coming to an end here as we transition to focus on the gleaning season. Thank you box packing team!

[Boston Area Gleaners @bostonareaglean]

This post goes out to all of those who have become masters at packing Just Eats boxes - thank you for your continued interest and expertise week after week.
