Local Organizations

The Gleaning Network of Texas is a nonprofit, grassroots organization that brings together growers, volunteers, and service agencies to help the food insecure with fruits and vegetables left over in Texas fields after harvest.

Yes, many growers and food producers have excess produce in their fields that is either plowed under or turned into compost. This is good, fresh produce that Texans need.

By getting gleaners into fields and orchards, we're able to pick the excess and transport thousands of pounds of produce to food assistance agencies throughout Texas.

Established in 1971, the Chicago Audubon Society is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization with approximately 4,000 members in the metropolitan area.

Your local membership will greatly assist with the Chicago Chapter's efforts to educate the public, protect habitat, and continually bring attention to the vital cause of environmental awareness. Membership in the Chicago Chapter is separate from membership in the National Audubon Society.

Rescue a Reef is the University of Miami’s coral restoration program, designed to support research and revival activities to save local staghorn coral populations on Miami’s coral reefs. Rescue A Reef expeditions are led by UM researchers, and provide a unique, hands-on education experience for recreational divers and snorkelers to participate in coral restoration efforts.

Our mission is to educate and engage the local community, increase scientific literacy in coastal and coral reef conservation, and foster ocean stewardship.

Our babies grow and change so quickly that the clothing and gear they once used stays durable and can be passed on. By donating to WeeCycle, a twofold gift is given: Not only are you providing children from struggling families with the clothing and gear they need to live their first years safely and happily, you are practicing good stewardship of the planet that all of our babies will one day inherit.

Help Us Protect the Forest Preserves!

In recent history, the forest preserves of Cook County have encountered a great deal of abuse and neglect: Invasive brush turned thousands of acres into impassible thorn thickets, preserve land was sold, and trash littered the landscape.

Friends of the Forest Preserves was founded in 1998 by a small group of concerned citizens. We are now a force of thousands of committed volunteers and members.
