Harvest season is fast approaching and City Fruit is hoping that Crown Hill residents will share their bounty.

If you’ve got a fruit tree that produces more than you can eat, City Fruit will donate the fruit to local food banks, community and senior centers, and childcare centers in the Crown Hill/ Phinney/Greenwood/Ballard area. The organization is looking for donations as well as people to help harvest the fruit in the Crown Hill area. If you are interested, email Jen Mullen the harvest coordinator at crownhill@cityfruit.org.

Solid Ground is also looking for volunteers for their annual Community Fruit Tree Harvest. They will host a volunteer orientation on Tuesday, July 27, 6:30pm – 7:30pm at the Ballard Library (5614 22nd Ave NW).
