Bringing in the Sheaves: Gleaning in Faith November 19, 2021
Volunteers across the country are “gleaning” -- the ancient practice of picking crops for the poor after the harvest is completed. Many belong to faith-based organizations as there are mandates in the Torah, the Bible, and the Quran to glean for the poor, the widowed, and the orphaned. Producer Kimberly Winston goes on a field trip with one such group from Healdsburg, California.
