Simple idea, big impact:
3 Million pounds of abundance since 2001
Our volunteer harvests of abundant fruit from backyards and orchards provide healthy food for tens of thousands of people in need every year, assistance to seniors, and meaningful life experiences for children and families.
Every $1 provides healthy fruit for 1 person for an entire week.
Village Harvest is a nonprofit volunteer organization in the greater San Francisco Bay Area which harvests fruit from backyards and small orchards to help people in need in our community. We help people share the abundance of their gardens and their talents to build a healthier community for all.
Share your fruit
Your extra fruit can make a meaningful difference for the 1 in 10 people in our community who need healthy food. Don't let your fruit go to waste or become a mess!
Visit our Harvesting page for information on how you can offer your extra fruit for possible harvesting by Village Harvest volunteers, or pick yourself and donate to an organization near you.
