Please join us for our first event of 2025: Lemon Love.
We will pick prime citrus – lemons, limes, oranges, tangerines, and grapefruits. There is a lot of fruit out there and a lot of love to spread around. This time we will be donating fruit not only to our usual spots, APCH and the Downtown Women's Center but also coordinating to get fresh fruit to those affected by the recent fires.
Let's make lemonade.
This year has already been very hard. We want to lean into community and an ethic of inclusiveness and sharing. Let's turn some lemons into lemonade. This event will not include a full 'kitchen' event, however, we will gather round ye olde juicers to make lemonade from our locally picked lemons. At the end of the pick as we box up the fruit to be donated, we will make and share some lovely lemonade.
Meet in the front yard at 2599 Glen Green Street, 90068 at 9AM
