Gleaning is the process of harvesting leftover produce
from grower’s fields after the commercial harvest. The
produce is then donated to the Palm Beach County Food Bank
and other food relief partners for distribution to individuals
and families countywide.
CROS Ministries is a local non-profit agency that holds
annual gleaning events at local farms and is always in need
of volunteers. It’s a great way to spend time outdoors while
helping provide fresh produce to those in need.

History Corner

After World War I, a combination of events caused a real
estate boom in south Florida. The production of affordable
automobiles for a growing middle class turned the United
States into a mobile society. New roads carried Americans
southward, where a thriving economy encouraged them to
buy land and build homes.
Between 1915 and 1927, a system of connecting roads called
the Dixie Highway, now called US Route 1, was completed along
Florida’s east coast from Georgia as far south as Miami in 1926.
By 1920, Florida had a population of nearly one million,
which would grow by more than half in the next decade. AFFORDABLE & RELIABLE IN-HOME CARE
If the climate was not enough to entice the newcomers, in
1924, the state amended its constitution for the first time to
prohibit state income and inheritance taxes. Companion Care Personal Care Live-In Care Respite Care
