What We Do

Harvest Fruit for the Community

Every year, City Fruit harvests 30,000-45,000 pounds of fruit from fruit trees on residential properties and public orchards across Seattle. This fruit is shared with local food banks and meal programs across the city.  Learn more here! 

The image is a graphic. It is entitled in big green letters, "Where does the Fruit Go?' In the middle of the image is a cartoon plum tree with many arrows pointing off of it. The first arrow points to a picture of a fruit stand and text that says, "Distributed to community at our Fruit-For-All stands!". The second arrow points to hands folding a pear, persimmon and grapes. The text here reads, "Donated to local food banks!". The next arrow points to a picture of a salad, fork and knife. The text here reads, "Distributed to our meal program partners." The last arrow points to an image of jam, cider, a pie, and canned pears. The text reads, "processed into jams, cider, and baked goods by our diversion partners!"
