Our neighbour was on CBC radio this morning talking about a new organization called OPERATION FRUIT RESCUE EDMONTON! Rather than letting fruit go to waste, if you have fruit in your yard that needs picking, call this group!
One third of the fruit goes to the homeowner, one third to the volunteer fruit pickers, and one third to the food bank! I love it! Here is the link to learn more http://ofre.wordpress.com/about/
CONTACT INFORMATION:
Fruit Tree/Fruit contacts – Jessica Roder and Sarah Cashmore will be the contacts for fruit-owners through a central email. Jessica’s phone number is 780-757-4978 and email is: ofredm@gmail.com.
Pickers: for those interested in being pickers, please email ivormack@telusplanet.net or Jessica Roder at ibreathewater@yahoo.ca.
