A woman by the name of Nataha Boissier founded the nonprofit organization, North Berkeley Harvest, that gathers unwanted fruits, vegetables, herbs (produce) from peoples homes and donates it to Bay Area schools and soup kitchens. What a great idea!
If you would like to volunteer your time or produce and to learn more about this organization go to the website www.northberkeleyharvest@gmail.com or by phone 510/812-3369.
A similiar organization in the South Bay, Santa Clara County, is called Village Harvest. They are at http://www.villageharvest.org/ or by phone at 888/378-4841.
Happy Picking and Giving

"What a great idea!" I know that in my neighborhood during spring lots of extra fruit ends up on the ground. Since I live nearby Berkeley I'll contact this organization.
Thanks, MC
