All my best, Lauren -- Lauren Anderson Program Coordinator Produce to the People http://www.producetothepeople.org producetothepeople [at] gmail.com Produce to the People (PttP) is a backyard harvest project that collects excess produce from residential fruit trees and gardens in San Francisco. The produce is given to local organizations that redistribute free food to low-income families and individuals, including The Free Farm Stand. We are in the process of initiating an employment program for high school students, harvesting produce on bicycles, working at food distribution sites, and learning about local food systems, environmental stewardship, and community organizing. PttP serves the community on many levels, by offering a free service that utilizes fresh, healthy food that would otherwise go to waste, by aiding in our local food security through the distribution of produce to our neighbors and friends who may not always have access to it, and by creating youth employment and environmental education.
