A bountiful harvest

Over the past few months, our hardworking supreme gleaners and fruit pickers have banded together to harvest 12,159 pounds of fruit in our city! This season we picked everything from cherries, berries and apples to pears, quince and gingko. Read on for more highlights from this season!

252 Fruit Picks!
A sincere thanks to our tree registrants, supreme gleaners and volunteers for making all 252 fruit picks possible. Because of your efforts, we were able to share fruit with our 35 partner agencies across the city!
