Village Harvest helps people share their gardens and their talents to reduce hunger with local fruit, and we have fun doing it!
At this event, volunteers will join our community harvest team in West San Jose to harvest oranges, lemons, grapefruit, and other citrus . Enjoy the day as you walk between the homes. Fruit from the harvest will be donated to local food banks to assist low income families and seniors who need healthy food.
This is a fun, outdoor event with light exercise; perfect for adults, families, students (12 and up with their parent, 14 otherwise), and groups. The exact location of the harvest will be emailed a few days prior to the event.
Village Harvest organizes 15 to 20 harvests every month in locations in the South Bay and Peninsula; find our full schedule and sign up for events through http://www.villageharvest.org .

Mission Statement
Sharing our gardens and talents to strengthen our community: Village Harvest brings together neighbors and community organizations to provide food for people in need, promote sustainable use of urban resources, and preserve our agricultural heritage and skills.
Description
Village Harvest is a volunteer organization in the San Francisco Bay Area that harvests fruit from homes and small orchards for local food agencies to assist people in need. We also provide education on fruit tree care, harvesting, and food preservation.
Since our founding in 2001 volunteers have picked and donated more than 4 million pounds to assist hundreds of thousands. Instead of going to waste abundant fruit becomes healthy food, and our volunteer harvests provide important life experiences for children and families, assistance for seniors, and community connection for a greater good.
