Donate Extra Fruit From Your Trees

One of our staffers came across this site that lists locations in the city where you can donate your extra fruit from your trees.

The organzation is called City Fruit and looks like there motto according to their website is "Figure out how to get all that good, juicy fruit from the tree in to your hands -- either on your own or with a little help. And what you do with that fruit is up to you. We suggest eating some yourself and giving some away."

They have a whole page on their site called "Share Your Fruit" and on it list about 75 locations where you can drop off your extra fruit.

A few in this area are Ronald Mc Donald House near Metropolitan Market on 40th Ave NE, Sandpoint Housing and Santos Place at Magnuson Park and a few places in the University District.

If you're wondering how to pack your fruit to deliver it and about safe packing in general, they've got some great tips.

Looks like you can also get some "Harvest Help." "If you live in the Puget Sound region and need help with harvesting the fruit on your trees, contact the following organizations listed below (depending on where you live). If you can pick your own tree and would like help delivering the fruit, check out the list of recipient organizations."

There's lots more on the website. We learned a lot perusing all the information! One of our staffers has been lucky enough that his neighbor has been giving him extra fruit!
