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. 2 The Land Park News • June 27, 2013 • www.valcomnews.com Valley Community Newspapers, Inc.
