Harvest fruit at homes and small orchards throughout our beautiful Bay Area. Join Village Harvest in this fun and rewarding outdoor activity, knowing the fruit you pick is going to local food banks to help others in need.
To volunteer, find events and sign up at www.villageharvest.org; we organize 10 to 20 harvests each month at locations throughout the South Bay and Peninsula. (You do not need to submit a request through Volunteer Match for this opportunity.)
Harvests are 3 1/2 hours on weekend or weekday mornings, and no ongoing commitment is required. Minimum volunteer age for most harvests is 12 when children or teens are accompanied by their parent, age 14 otherwise.
We hope to see you soon!

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.
