Gleaning Update

Because of your dedication, Gleaning For The World continues to provide hope in the United States and overseas. Medical supplies, nutritional supplements, and furniture are just a few of the life-saving supplies we have already placed this year. And we have much more work ahead.

In March, Gleaning has been active in providing our partnering groups with the supplies they need. Domestically, nearly 6,000 lives have been touched because of our organization. Shoes were placed in Northern Virginia, water was provided to a Central Virginia ministry, perishable food was sent to Southwestern Virginia and another shipment of furniture was provided to Hurricane Ike victims in Texas. Already this year, Gleaning has shipped nearly 20,000 blankets to groups that respond to the homeless. We realize more people will find themselves without jobs and homes, and we are committed to provide blankets, personal care items and other supplies our partnering groups need.

Internationally, we shipped 38,000 pounds of soap to people in need of better hygiene to prevent diseases from spreading in El Salvador. GFTW shipped almost $2 million of medical supplies and other much needed products to help support thousands of people in Guatemala struggling with poverty. In Zimbabwe, we sent more than half of a million dollars worth of medical supplies to help hospitals, clinics and villages in desperate need. Gaza received nearly $1 million in medical supplies for innocent people recovering from the recent conflict. We are also committing $1 million worth of medical supplies to Togo, Africa.

As you can tell, Gleaning For The World is working hard to make sure those in need receive aid. And we are grateful you have helped to make that possible. Please keep our ministry in your thoughts and prayers. Your continued support is key to reaching more people!

Sincerely,

Ronald T. DavidsonPresident & CEO
