Volunteer With Us!
In an effort to minimize food waste from the thousands of fruit trees in our area, Urban Abundance plans and coordinates fruit harvesting events every season. All the fruit picked gets shared among neighbors and the rest is donated to the Clark County Food Bank, food pantries, and other local food recovery programs. While gleaning is where we need the most volunteers, we also have many other opportunities for your help!
