Every year, countless fruit trees in our own backyards overflow with apples, pears, plums, and cherries—fruit that often falls to the ground to rot. Meanwhile, many of our neighbors struggle to access fresh, healthy food.

Fruitful Connections was born to bridge that gap: we connect homeowners with fruit trees to volunteers who harvest the bounty, sharing it with food banks, shelters, and community members in need.
This isn’t just about picking apples or plums; it’s about nourishing our community, reducing waste, and building relationships. When we gather under a tree, swap stories, and share the harvest, we’re reminded how powerful it is to work together.






Whether you have a tree dripping with fruit or a few hours to help pick, your contribution makes a real difference. Let’s turn overlooked abundance into hope, health, and connection—one fruit tree at a time.
