Neighborhood Gleaning Organization Branches out to Join Food Forward
BY TERRY MILLER
In 2010, an Arcadia high school student started ‘Fruit for All’, a family and neighbor-run organization that would send groups of volunteers out to harvest backyard fruit from local trees ( often called gleaning ), then donate 100% to food banks in the area. See Zach Selby, the founder, noticed how much fruit his family’s guava tree produced, but even after eating it and giving plenty away, they still had more than they knew what to do with. Not wanting this food to go to waste, Zach was inspired to harvest and donate the fruit off his tree (such as to Foothill Unity in Monrovia). His work quickly caught on in the community, as more and more pickers and fruit donors joined the cause. In no time, the organization Fruit for All was formed.
