Got fruit? Harvest your fruit trees for those in need
Pick fruit to help feed the hungry with Solid Ground
If you’ve ever walked down a street strewn with fallen fruit and thought “Too bad that food went to
waste,” this may be the volunteer opportunity for you.
Solid Ground’s Lettuce Link program is looking for help with its Community Fruit Tree Harvest,
which delivers apples, plums and pears picked from Seattle fruit trees to food banks and meals
programs.
Last year, volunteers harvested more than 19,600 pounds of fruit.
There are four volunteer orientations coming up:
Here’s what you’d do as a Community Fruit Tree Harvest volunteer:
■“Scout” trees in your neighborhood to see if they are ripe before sending volunteers to harvest.
■Harvest at scheduled work parties.
■Be “on call” to harvest fruit in your neighborhood.
(An email will go out to the volunteers in a
particular neighborhood when a tree there is ripe.
Available volunteers will make arrangements for
picking.
