#NewZealand / #Aotearoa - Community Food Organisations

#KoreHiakai - #ZeroHungerCollective

"Across Aotearoa New Zealand, communities are working together to support those who do not have access to healthy nutritious #AffordableFood. We have responded to this in a variety of ways, and are choosing to centre our map on those organisations providing immediate food assistance to #whānau. These include #CommunityMeals and #FreeStores, #FoodCoops operating a #lowcost or koha model for #FreshProduce, as well as more traditional #FoodBanks and #SocialSupermarkets offering food parcels, budgeting support and more."

#LifecyclesProjectSociety #FruitTreeProject Update.

This year, we have harvested over 63,000 lbs of fruit! Of that, almost 32,000 lbs of Grade A fruit has been donated to the community, to over 70 community service agencies throughout the Greater Victoria Area. Our tree stewards have kept 4,500 lbs, and our amazing team of 191 Harvest Leads and Pickers have taken 13,000 lbs home. 

What about the other 13,500 lbs you ask? 

Made up of B-Grade, we have processed just over 7500 lbs into juice and jam. Some of the fruit is always C-Grade (compost). To date, we have composted just under 6000 lbs of fruit - while some of this has gone to our friends at Community Composting, the vast majority has gone to a local pig farmer.

We are proud to say no fruit has gone into the landfill!

Help us rescue surplus fruit, reduce food waste, and share fresh, local produce with community members who need it most.

In 2024, we harvested 30,757 lbs of fruit with the help of 151 volunteers!

Through the #FruitTreeProject - we harvest fruit that would otherwise go to waste—and ensure it reaches community members who need it most. By transforming how people engage with the Urban Orchard and with one another, we’re reimagining what a connected, resilient local food system can look like!

Your donation helps sustain this invaluable program, which has been operating since 1994 — a long-standing pillar of community care and food-sharing in the Greater Victoria Area.

Every contribution counts.
https://fruit-tree-project.raiselysite.com/

Running the Fruit Tree Project costs approximately $145,000 per year. Your donations directly support:

Wages for staff who coordinate harvests and volunteers

Coordination for fruit redistribution

Vehicle and fuel expenses to reach trees across the region

Insurance to keep everyone safe

Cold storage to preserve fruit

Website administration and outreach tools to connect with the community

Every dollar helps us rescue more fruit, support more families, and strengthen Greater Victoria’s local food system!

@PhotographyElf

@phpmacher das findet sich so nach und nach. Fürn #Garten (und #foodsharing ) isses echt super praktisch. Ich hab immer genügend Kram zum hin und her kutschen und nehme auch gern mal was für die Gartennachbarin mit. Vor allem muss ich das ganze Zeug so auch nicht von der Bahn/Auto bis in die Parzelle schleppen. Hab vor zwei Monaten extra noch den Eingang etwas verbreitert, damit die #carlacargo auch mit rein passt 😅

Die Lösung für die ganz großen #Lastenrad-Transporte:

#Omnium Cargo von uns
+ #CarlaCargo von #Foodsharing #Dortmund
= Gespann von knapp 6 Metern Länge!

Ist dafür erstaunlich wendig, aber so komplett ohne Motorunterstüzung auch eine ganz schön sportliche Angelegenheit!
