HOW TO GET INVOLVED
Volunteers power our food recovery work
Your surplus fruit goes to people experiencing food insecurity
For every dollar donated, we recover 10 pounds of produce
We are creating a future where everyone has access to healthy produce.
Donate surplus fruit!
Our volunteers are ready to harvest your fruit trees in Los Angeles and Ventura counties.
