Food Forward Big Pick
Tweet
I was recently contacted by Food Forward, a volunteer organization that harvests otherwise wasted food from local groves and orchards and donates it to needy local residents. According to their website, www.FoodForward.org, “Several times a month we convene at a private property we have been invited to and glean the excess fruit on their trees, donating 100% of it to local food pantries.”
I was asked to help Food Forward spread the word about an upcoming “Big Pick” event. And though I have not yet participated in one of their picks, from what I have been able to read online, they sound like a good organization working for a good cause – namely helping to end hunger in Los Angeles. Here is a link to more about the upcoming Big Pick event.
