Our Impact
With your help, we’re turning urban fruit into a tool for social change.
Why do we pick fruit?
It’s a lot of fun! But more than that – the simple act of picking fruit goes a long way. It brings communities together, connects people to their environment, and demonstrates a sustainable food system is possible.
The challenge
In Toronto, we’re surrounded by a massive urban orchard that produces 1.5 million pounds of fruit every year. Yet much of this fruit goes unpicked and falls to waste.
Rotting fruit releases greenhouse gas emissions, and contributes to the massive problem of food waste.
Fruit also shouldn’t be falling to waste when people are going hungry. In a city where food insecurity has been declared an emergency, we want to make sure as many people as possible have access to this healthy, local food source.
