"Focused on gleaning food that would otherwise go to waste, Farm to Pantry expanded its impact during the pandemic era: under executive director Duskie Estes, the mostly volunteer organization harvested and provided 17,000 pounds of produce in 2020 that helped Sonoma Family Meal contribute to the roughly 250,000 meals distributed to elderly, low-income, and migrant farmworker communities." - Eater
