Okanagan Gleaners
Feeding the hungry in Christ's name
Our MISSION
The Gleaners exists to transform produce that might otherwise be wasted into nourishment for the millions of the world's hungry. The Okanagan Gleaners developed a mission of “feeding the hungry of the world in Jesus' name".
A dedicated group of individuals gather together in Oliver BC, Monday to Friday, to process raw vegetables into a dry vegetable product which is then made available to Christian organizations to help feed the hungry of the world.

Hi Everyone!
My name is Jayde and I wanted to formally introduce myself to you. Firstly I'm very grateful to have the opportunity to work with all of you. I am joining Okanagan Gleaners as the new Production Supervisor going forward. I bring with me a career of leadership experience in agriculture, business administration, and the financial industry.
I grew up in the South Okanagan on an orchard driving tractors and lifts before moving to Metro Vancouver for work and education. I enjoy all outdoor adventure hobbies along with cooking and reading. I have been fortunate to live my life to the fullest in this beautiful country.
I have always had a strong passion to give back and contribute to making a difference in the lives of people who are in need. When presented with this opportunity to help individuals experiencing food insecurities leading to poor mental health affecting their ability to learn, grow, and contribute to society, I wanted to be a part of the solution.
Food is a basic human right and Okanagan Gleaners are affirming this every day. What an amazing team to be a part of.
It's been a pleasure meeting all of you and if we haven't spoken yet please don't hesitate to introduce yourselves.
See you soon and happy new year : )
