When you were younger, did your parents ever tell you to finish your plate because there are children starving in a far off place, and you thought, ‘Well, why not send it to them?’

Yard Harvest works  on this solution, just on a more local level.

Harvest Season 2014: How are those blossoms looking?

Donate your unused produce, apples, cherries, peaches to Yard Harvest. Their volunteers harvest the food, leave a portion with the homeowners, and deliver the rest to daycare centers, homes for the elderly, community kitchens, and other charities that serve people around Denver who are at risk of going without fresh, healthy food.
