Gleaning is harvesting crops that would not usually be sellable due to their shape, size or colour. However, farmers have expended a large amount of resources on growing them: hundreds of hours of labour, as well as water. If you harvest the fruit and vegetables, these resources were not wasted in vain. And the fact that these crops are then given to people who would not normally be able to afford them, is also important. This includes people in shelters, some seniors, or people on the edge of poverty - for whom these foods are a great help.
You can arrange with the coordinator to meet at a specific place in Prague, from where you will travel to the field together and spend several hours harvesting crops in the fresh air. The DobroPolníci organisation then hands over the harvested vegetables or fruit to other organisations who focus on helping people in need.
