The *real* L.A. isn’t about celebrities shooting guns in traffic. It’s about French dip sandwiches, nuns making pumpkin bread, free museums, canyon hikes… we’re discovering more every day. Join us! 🙂

For someone else though, sour oranges are better than starving. So instead of bagging up the fruit for your coworkers or leaving the rotting fruit to the squirrels and gardener, try something different this year and contact FOOD FORWARD. Not only will they come to your home and pick all of your fruit trees clean at no charge, they will deliver the donated fruit to the LA Food Bank on your behalf and you’ll get a tax deduction in return. Win/win!

CHARITY NAME: FOOD FORWARD
DETAILS: “FOOD FORWARD is an all volunteer grassroots group of Angelenos who care about reconnecting to our food system and making change around urban hunger… We convene at properties we have been invited to and glean the excess fruit on their trees, donating 100% to local food pantries… Our current receiving partners are SOVA Community Food and Resource Program, a program of Jewish Family Services, and MEND POVERTY. Combined, they distribute the food we glean to over 30,000 clients a month across Southern California.”
