The results are in: the 30th Annual Women’s Power Breakfast raised over $323,000, which equates to nearly 1 million meals for kids and families in our community!

We get to celebrate this incredible achievement because of you. From all of us at Gleaners, thank you so much for your dedication and support of our mission. Your gift is already hard at work in our community, empowering children with the healthy food they need to thrive.

As an extra thank you, we’re proud to share our digital photo album of the event, which captured the main stage, our breakout sessions, and networking over breakfast! You may also tag and share the photos we’ve posted to our Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram pages.

Thank you again to the more than 540 participants at our 30th Anniversary Event, and to those who helped us reach our goal from afar. We appreciate you and hope to see you next year!
