This is such a great idea Winnipeg, I can't wait to tell you about it. This is what Winnipeg is all about!
I heard about Fruit Share on TV just a few days ago, I checked out their website and thought I just HAD to share it with you.
Info taken From their website: "Fruit Share Manitoba is dedicated to picking, sharing and enjoying fresh fruit growing in backyards throughout Winnipeg, Manitoba.
They connect fruit owners with volunteer fruit pickers to make good use fruit currently not being used.
They fostering the idea of neighbours helping neighbours.
How It works:
Fruit owners make their fruit available for picking by registering with Fruit Share. Volunteers, who have also registered with Fruit Share, are coordinated and dispatched to pick the fruit. Once picked, the fruit is shared three ways. One third goes to the homeowner (if desired), one third is split between the volunteers and one third is given to community organizations that can use the fruit (eg. Winnipeg Harvest, Siloam Mission, seniors at Fred Tipping Place, etc.). Everyone benefits!"
What do you think ? Isn't it great?
