“ Farming”If You’re Not Dirty Someone’s Going Hungry”
Beautiful red,green and orange tomatoes were gleaned on Saturday at The Original Manassero
Farms tomato field located in Irvine on Jeffrey and Irvine Valley at Irvine Valley College.
18 rolls were donated to Loaves and Fishes x10 to help fight hunger. Different varieties
were in the tomato filed including Red Heirloom, Amana Orange Heirlooms and many
others.
Alex Tran seen above with these great looking tomatoes is one of Loaves and Fishes x10
greatest volunteers. Alex continues to come out and support the gleaning projects and
brings volunteers as well. He is one of the ones that we can count on to show up and
get dirty in the fields.
The tomatoes gleaned on Saturday were picked specifically for Bruno Serato
founder of Caterina’s Club an organization that feeds pasta to over 1,800 kids every
night five days a week. The president of Loaves and Fishes x10 made it his mission
to make sure that Bruno received as many crates as possible that Saturday so that
he could have fresh tomatoes for his sauce.
22 crates of tomatoes was donated to Caterina’s Club that Saturday Afternoon. These
farm fresh tomatoes picked by volunteers and the president were amazing in size and
colors.

It was hot but at the same time it was a great day to glean tomatoes at The Original
Manassero Farms for Food Banks. Volunteers came from Saddleback Church Food
Pantry,Official No One Left Behind a non-profit that serves in the Santa Ana Community
and other volunteers. Volunteers started off gleaning Red Heirloom tomatoes that were
so tempting you wanted to eat one right off the vine. Official No One Left behind showed
up a few minutes later with volunteers and two vehicles ready to get the job done for their
organization. Joyce and 6 other volunteers gleaned over 400 lbs of sweet Heirloom tomatoes.
This was the first time they were in tomatoes fields picking and they seemed to enjoy it.
Time went by so fast and there was still a lot of tomatoes left on the 4 acre field. The
president is always saying that there is so much fresh produce on the fields left after
the gleaning he has to make sure that he gets more volunteers to come out. Over all
it was a great day and a successful one for the volunteers and Food Banks. Now isn’t
this Heirloom beautiful.

Young brother in the Lord Gabriel Reyes A.K.A (Dacode) is a young talented
Christian Rapper who lives in Santa Ana California. Gabriel’s desire is to reach
the youth with his talent the Lord gave him in order to help change and guide
the youth who are caught up in the world and also who may have strayed away
from the truth in Jesus Christ.
Romans 12:2
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will.
We are excited about showing this video on how Christian Rapper Gabriel
Reyes and President Robert Flournoy came together to Minister to the youth.
