- Thanks for joining Sarika! I can already see you have a lot of ideas and energy. I'm especially interested in your idea of collecting fruit from trees around the city - aka gleaning. Other places, like Portland, have some great ways of doing this, where a group collects all the fruit, splits 10% of the harvest among themselves, and donates the rest to local food banks. It's not that we have a dearth of food, its just that we need a better system of collecting and distributing it locally.

Help us grow!
The City of Fremont has approved our plans to build community gardens in the old Mission Adobe Nursery, but this plan is contingent on our ability to raise $30,000.
If we can raise $15,000 from the local community, StopWaste.Org will provide us with a matching grant of $15,000.
