Riverside Food Rescue Program

EDIT: This event is happening March 15, THIS SUNDAY.

Windy weather has knocked a lot of avocados off the trees, so we’re organizing a community Avocado Rescue Day to gather the fallen fruit and make sure it doesn’t go to waste.

We’ll be visiting a local property to collect avocados that have fallen from the trees. All fruit gathered will be donated to local food pantries, helping get fresh food to people in our community.
You’re also welcome to take a few avocados home for yourself!

What to know:

🥑 Help collect fallen avocados from the orchard
🛍 Plastic bags will be provided for collecting fruit
🤝 Most of the harvest will go to local food pantries
⚠️ IMPORTANT: No bathrooms are available on-site so please plan ahead
📝 All volunteers must complete the volunteer waiver before the event (link in bio)
