Description

Harvest food, fight hunger, build community! We will be harvesting beautiful oranges that would otherwise go to waste, and donating 100% to local hunger relief agencies.

Join the Volunteer Harvest Team to help us close boxes of grapefruit and load them into vehicles or our partner organizations.

Volunteers should be comfortable carrying boxes of fruit that may weigh up to 40 pounds. Volunteers don’t need to worry about bringing equipment or transporting the fruit. This opportunity is open to volunteers 5 years old and older, though children under 16 years old must come with a parent or guardian who registers for and volunteers at the event, too.

Please note: there is a very small but steep hill to climb to get to the trees. If you have physical limitations, please contact us to discuss further
