Brandy Collier, President and Founder of Eugene Area Gleaners, was interviewed by the Association of Gleaning Organizations in their Coffee Chat feature on July 23, 2026.
Brandy walks through the ways Eugene Area Gleaners keeps the work going with volunteers, with little money, and no membership fees. She breaks down how they rescue thousands of pounds of food annually while keeping things simple with the intention of providing food with dignity. Then Skagit Gleaners also talks about their approach which is also all-volunteer but with paid membership tiers.
