Urban Fruit Gleaning – Our Article in Good.is Magazine April 3, 2009
Hi…This is my personal recipe and family blog site, but I am also involved with a fruit gleaning project in Riverside, CA picking neighborhood fruit from overflowing fruit trees and donating the fresh fruit to the local Food Bank, Second Harvest Food Bank and others in need. Our name is Inland Empire Urban Fruit Harvesting.
Good.is Magazine wrote a Food Grows on Trees article on groups who are gleaning for donations. We just happen to be one of them. Please check out the article and spread the word….

Attention All Inalnd Empire People – Urban Fruit Harvesting January 16, 2009
Hi all….
first, thank you for taking the time to read this post.
I watched a short YouTube Video on Urban Fruit Harvesting…
I am inspired…
We have an abundance of fruit growing on trees in residential areas of the Inland Empire. But every year, this delicious organic food drops without being harvested. Meanwhile, many people living on low incomes have limited access to fresh fruit, vital to a healthy diet.
I would like to get together and gather the fruit before it falls, and make this valuable resource available to those who need it.
So, if you know of anyone who has fruit tress, please let me know.
Even if it’s just one tree, it’s okay.
I am going to gather up places to pick trees and then organized a volunteer outing to start harvesting. Bring home what you want and the rest I will give to local food banks, homeless shelters and other organizations who may need fruit.
Are you in? You know of anyone who has trees, do you want to help harvest? Volunteer a truck, containers, pickers, people…..???anything you can help out with would be much appreciated.
Thank you for your support.
Making a difference, lighting my footprint….
Krista
