Community Fruit Harvesting assists in the provision of food, mainly fruit and fruit preserves to those in need, working cooperatively with others in the community and local food systems area.
PURPOSE
Our purpose is to facilitate the sharing of excess food, mainly fruit and preserves and particularly from people’s backyards and orchards, particularly to those in need and to encourage people to volunteer to achieve this. In particular we:
3.1 encourage fruit tree owners and others who package/distribute or sell fruit to share their excess fruit;
3.2 encourage volunteers to help pick/collect, preserve and distribute the fruit;
3.3 provide fruit and preserves to those in need via Food banks, schools, individuals and charities ; and
3.4 provide any support and educational assistance consistent with this charitable purpose.
