There are thousands of fruit trees in Seattle bursting with fruit that end may end up in waste.

One local non-profit wants to collect that fruit. City Fruit is now looking for volunteers who could help.

Five months out of the year, the City Fruit spends time picking fruit from private properties and public orchards like this one at the Meridian Playground in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood.

City Fruit executive director Carrie Ferrence says the non-profit could use more help to collect tens of thousands of pounds of fruit from all over the city.
