As the 2024 fruit-picking season has come to an end, we invite you to help us celebrate this year’s successes at our Season Wrap-Up Party! This is an opportunity for us to show our appreciation for our amazing community members and a way to meet people involved with the VFTP, learn more about our work and connect with like-minded people! The event will be Tuesday Dec 10, 7:00 PM. It will be a potluck event, with poetry, music and a fundraising raffle!
This season, we rescued just over 4,500 pounds of fruit, and this was only possible through the help of all our amazing community members, including team leads, fruit pickers, drivers, donors, partners and tree owners, and we want to say a big thank you for all your assistance! All the incredible work we do is made possible by the continued support of our dedicated community members.
This is a great opportunity for existing, new and interested volunteers, tree owners and community members to connect and we can’t wait to meet you in person.
