Community Fruit Tree Harvest - Volunteer Orientation in Wallingford

VOLUNTEER ORIENTATIONS

We encourage you to attend one volunteer orientation this summer, whether you are a new harvester or a seasoned volunteer. It’s a great opportunity to learn and share knowledge about picking fruit, harvest logistics and meet fellow volunteers. You can attend any orientation, though of course the one in your neighborhood is preferable!

Volunteers are needed to do the following tasks:

* “Scout” trees in their neighborhood to see if they are ripe before sending volunteers to harvest
* Harvest at scheduled work parties
* Be on-call to harvest fruit in your neighborhood (An e-mail will go out to the volunteers in a particular neighborhood that a tree is ripe. Volunteers who are available will make arrangements for picking)
* Provide garage storage for ladders, picking buckets, and/or harvested fruit
* Deliver harvested fruit to food banks, meal programs and low-income apartments
* Meets with staff at recipient organizations to determine how to best serve their needs when donating fruit

If you are a new volunteer or have not filled out a volunteer application in the past, please fill out the attached document and return to robind@solid-ground.org
