Join Food Forward for a free community and family-friendly event celebrating Food Forward’s 15th anniversary of fighting hunger and reducing food waste. Harvest fruit for communities experiencing food insecurity, and come together for a festive celebration with games, refreshments, and activities for all ages. Together, we can Build Generational Health.
We will be harvesting beautiful oranges that would otherwise go to waste, and donating 100% to local hunger relief organizations. Join a one-hour harvesting shift to help us harvest as much fruit as possible from trees, and pack it into boxes to be donated.
Volunteers should be comfortable harvesting fruit and carrying boxes that weigh up to 20 pounds, but 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.
**In order to attend this event, each person (children included) MUST REGISTER on our volunteer calendar here:**
