Clear Lake Gleaners Inc.

Clear Lake Gleaners Inc., a California-based tax-exempt nonprofit and community development corporation, operates exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal food assistance grants, with no prime contract awards or contract vehicle positions in its current portfolio. The organization distributes emergency food assistance through the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) administered by the California Department of Social Services acting as the state-level prime grantee on behalf of the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service.

Clear Lake Gleaners holds a narrow customer footprint rooted in a single federal funding stream. All five of its recent grant sub-awards (100% of awards) are Emergency Food Assistance Program allocations flowing through the California Department of Social Services as the prime grantee. The organization received sub-awards in April 2023, twice in April 2024, June 2025, and February 2026, with combined federal dollars obligated totaling $464 thousand across the four-year window. Award frequency is irregular — one in 2023, two in 2024, one in 2025, one in 2026 — rather than on a predictable annual cycle, suggesting allocations track to food-assistance need and state grant cycles rather than a dedicated grant vehicle with a consistent timeline. The organization has no presence on contract vehicles, GSA Schedules, or multiple-award IDIQs, and does not compete for federal contracts; its federal footprint is confined to grant sub-awards as a distribution point for commodities and nutrition assistance within California's Emergency Food Assistance Program network.
