Every year, Vancouver’s 20,000 fruit trees produce hundreds of thousands of pounds of fruit. Much of this fruit is left unpicked on the ground.
Meanwhile, one in ten households and one in six children under the age of 18 experience food insecurity to some degree in British Columbia*.
By making sure no backyard fruit goes to waste, the Vancouver Fruit Tree Project is increasing food security in our neighbourhoods by making local, fresh fruit accessible to our 10+ community partners and the 4,000+ individuals they serve in Vancouver.
What Your Gift Provides
$25 supports the costs associated to deliver 75 pounds of fresh, local fruit to one community partner
$50 helps to replace heavy equipment when needed such as ladders and picking poles
$100 provides the supplies needed for one educational workshop on waste reduction and food preservation
Contributions of $20 or more are eligible for a tax receipt
If you would like to support our work, donations can be safely made through Canada Helps.
On behalf of our community partners and their members, thank you for helping feed our community!
