The etymology of the word "gleaner" and "gleaning" is interesting as well.
Originally it meant people that would go through a farmer's field and pick up any "left over" crop after it was harvested. So the farmer would reap what they sowed and bundle it all up and leave and whatever scraps were left behind on the ground was free for anyone to come grab it as free food.
Gleaning has deep roots in Jewish and Christian faiths as well (and many others). Here are two example verses that describe it:
Leviticus 19:9-10
‘Now when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the very corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. Nor shall you glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather the fallen fruit of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the needy and for the stranger.
Ruth 2:2-3
And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Please let me go to the field and glean among the ears of grain after one in whose sight I may find favor.” And she said to her, “Go, my daughter.” So she departed and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz"
So modern day gleaning is similar. It takes up the left over of what's not sold but is still good to eat and distributes it to the hungry.
