Community Fruit HarvestingReader submitted

One of my favourite Facebook groups, whose mission is:

"To share our neighbourhood harvest of fruit with the community. We will do this by inviting volunteers to register their interest in picking fruit from trees in the neighbourhood for the elderly, disabled or people who simply don't want the fruit from their own fruit trees and are happy to donate it to charity.

I would like people to register their interest in volunteering to pick fruit and to register their or a willing neighbour's fruit tree. Obviously, anyone else that wants to help in any other way would be great."

Check out their Facebook page if you'd like to get involved: http://www.facebook.com/pickfruit

Hi, Marty has just set up a Tauranga area branch (on Facebook as well), such a great initiative!
