Help for Food Shelves

"Fruits of the City" is a new project by the Minnesota Project that is looking to glean unused fresh fruit from trees in the city for donation to local food shelves. They are asking that if residents have apple, pear or plum trees on their home lots, which have excess fruit that tends to go to waste, those residents register the trees with this project. Then they will send out volunteers to pick the excess fruit. They are also looking for volunteer gleaners to help pick the fruit.

For more information, to register a tree, or to volunteer, call 651.789.3320 or email fruits@mnproject.org. Here is a link to their website .
