Community Engagement Workshop - Share the Harvest

Come join us on Tuesday, July 29th from 2:30-4:30 to pick fruit from local trees with Solid Ground's Community Fruit Tree Harvest. Meet in the Fremont Library Meeting Room where Gail Savina will give us a brief orientation to the program. We will then go pick some ripe local fruit and donate it to community food bank. RSVP to americorps@literacysource.org.

* In the event that the fruit is not ripe, we will still meet on the 29th to learn about the Harvest Project and future opportunities to volunteer.
