Apple Pickin’ Jamboree
2012 Apple Pikin' Jamboree Will be
Announced in the Fall
Saturday, October 1, 2011
8am until
Noon
Come glean with us at the Annual
Apple Pickin' Jamboree
at
Virginia orchards in the Bedford,
Lynchburg, and Roanoke
areas,
and northward along the I-81
corridor.
On October 1,
hundreds of volunteers will gather
at 8am in selected orchards to
salvage thousands of pounds of
apples that would otherwise go to
waste. The gleaned fruit will be
donated to local food banks and
other feeding agencies, such as The
Rescue Mission and the Salvation
Army.
Groups of all
sizes and people of all ages are
invited to spend 3-4 hours in the
fields. Gleaning is a wonderful
family opportunity. If children are
involved, good adult supervision is
needed. Expect to do some bending
and lifting.
Sign-up here
Fill out the form below for you and
your group.
The Gleaning Network Director will
contact you by September 28 to
assign you to an orchard.
