The head of an initiative that gleans produce from southern Alberta greenhouses and gardeners to support poor communities around the world is our Inspiring Albertan.
The Medicine Hat area produces millions of tons of vegetables every year and a lot of that produce would go to waste if it wasn't for the Prairie Gleaners Society.
The charitable organization takes produce that isn't quite perfectly formed but otherwise in excellent condition and dehydrates it.
The vegetable packs are then distributed to needy people in many countries with the help of partner relief and aid organizations.
