GoGlean is an experimental project initiated by Chetan Mangat and April Lee in 2007 in Honolulu, Hawai'i. They recognized the disconnect between the lack of availability of moderately priced, organic, local fruit in the grocery stores and farmers' markets in Hawai'i, and the over abundance of mangoes going to waste on trees all over the city. As a practical solution to bridging this gap, they wanted to create an online network to foster connections between the fruit consumers-to-be and the bearers of excess fruit.
