Our Mission is to fight hunger by harvesting fresh fruits and vegetables from farms and orchards.

MAGNET's vision derived from the Christian commitment of feeding the hungry, continues the centuries-old Biblical practice of gleaning fresh produce from fields, orchards, and packing facilities. Food which would be otherwise wasted is donated by farmers, harvested by volunteers, and distributed to low-income communities and individuals through food providers such as food banks, shelters, and soup kitchens.

This partnership of MAGNET farms, donors, volunteers, and food providers is one that improves helath and nutrition, breaks down barriers between people, builds self-esteem in all participants, and involves the whole community in the vital task of reducing hunger.

Poor health conditions and a marked lack of good nutrition is prominent in many neighborhoods suffering from poverty, lack of access to fresh produce, unsanitary living conditions and ignoarance of general principles and practices.
