Greetings, all who are interested in feeding the hungry with salvaged, otherwise-wasted good food!
Help us hand transfer PEACHES for the HUNGRY from large bins to smaller containers
on the Virginia Governor's DAY of GLEANING
THURSDAY, August 20 anytime between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM
[contact me if you want to help on another date; perhaps I can arrange an additional date]
Crown Orchard Packing Shed on Rt 29 NORTHbound side
about 15 miles SOUTH of the I-64 interchange
on Piedmont Apple Lane just off Lackey Lane
just south of the US Post Office located at 5912 Covesville Store Rd, Covesville VA 22931
children accompanied by an adult will have a great time, as well as teens and older adults!
attached is the Medical Info and Waiver of Liability form
each participant (and for those under 18, a parent/guardian) must sign
forms will also be available at the site
work will be outside, so bring water and sun protection,
and gloves if you prefer not to handle the peaches, some of which are squishy
attached also is a list of other gleaning opportunities in the Charlottesville area
please call or email me if you can come,
so I can tell the media how many gleaners we're expecting
but come anyway even if you have not contacted me!
With you for peace with justice for all,
