Illinois Wesleyan University student Jenny Prochotsky ’16 (Libertyville, Ill.) has organized a gleaning project to distribute free fresh produce at pop-up produce stands in west Bloomington. As the project continues to grow, she’s been able to collaborate with IWU alumni, like Daniel Burke ’09. Daniel worked to have Electronic Benefits Transfers accepted at the Downtown Bloomington Farmers Market.
Thanks to their efforts, more than 700 residents have received fresh produce through this project.
