George Macko Maura Abrahams Sacramento Food Bank and Family Services. Harvest Sacramento has already picked and donated more than 45,000 pounds of fruit in 2013 with the help of over 500 volunteers. Volunteers came together in large community harvests held on weekends and as small groups of neighbors that were trained by Harvest Sacramento. Over the last two years they have de- veloped neighborhood harvest teams in Land Park, South Land Park, Curtis Park, Tahoe Park and East Sacramento, which em- power neighborhood residents to harvest and distribute the fruit in the area where they live. “Our harvest groups have been a fan- tastic way for neighbors to meet each other and play and active role in contributing to their community. Fruit harvesting is a family friendly activity where everyone can find a way to partici- pate in a meaningful way and have fun doing it,” mentioned Ran- dy Stannard, Project Coordinator, at a recent harvest. They are looking to expand and strengthen their neighbor- hood harvest groups in order to improve their capacity to re- alize the unique year-round harvesting opportunities that are available in Sacramento. If you would like to offer fruit from your tree or volunteer, please contact Randy Stannard at [email protected] , (530) 204-8082 or visit the Harvest Sacramento webpage, www.harvestsacramento.org.
