How to get free fruit from the fall harvest (with the MEEPle)

As many of you know, the MEEPle are people who work on our Multicultural Environmental Education Program (MEEP), which helps connect newcomers with ways to be kind to the envronment. Here's a new project from Gagan, one of the MEEPle team leaders:

VIRCS Team Leader for Lifecycle's Fruit Tree Project
Do you like FREE fresh, local fruit? We are looking for a volunteer to participate in Lifecycle's volunteer training to be a Fruit Tree Project Leader. After the training you will help with organizing teams of VIRCS clients and volunteers to pick fruit (fresh cherries, plums, apples, pears and other fruit or sometimes vegetables) from private trees that would otherwise go to waste. The delicious fruit is then distributed among homeowners, volunteers, food banks and community organizations within Victoria.

For more information on how you can get involved as a Team Leader or even a Fruit Picker, please contact Gagan at gagan@vircs.bc.ca or 250.361.9433 ext. 217.
