Join Village Harvest as we pick fruit from local homes and share our bounty with those in need by donating to local food banks.
By popular demand, our walkable Neighborhood harvests have returned for the Winter/Spring citrus season. In this fun and rewarding outdoor opportunity you'll be part of a volunteer group walking between homes in a Central or West San Jose neighborhood, picking oranges, lemons, and grapefruit. Volunteers will be able to take home delicious fruit seconds from the harvest.
Our harvests are great for adults of all ages and teens (age 12 and up with their parent, 14 otherwise). There are many tasks that go into each harvest, physical strength or heavy lifting are not required.
The location varies with each harvest - volunteers will walk between 3 to 5 homes. The starting address and other details are emailed a few days prior to the event.

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.
