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!

The areas I want to study are community resilience, community building/development, food systems and sovereignty (both the ecology & economics side of things).
Formal learning options with this combination are not exactly common, so the program I'm studying 'Community Resilience and Leadership' was the best fit. And I've been able to focus my assessments towards food systems/sovereignty).
Moving to more self-directed learning I think I'll need a mentor working in this space.
