Operation Fruit Rescue Edmonton
Hi,
If you would like access to free fruit throughout the summer, please consider joining OFRE as a fruit picker. You get to pick the fruit that your neighbors don't want (before it ends up on the ground) and your only cost is your time. To get on the list, see their website:

Operation Fruit Rescue Edmonton (OFRE. pronounced “offer”) Established in 2009. OFRE is a volunteer organization of fruit owners and pickers.
Do you have a fruit tree that you don’t have the time or the energy to harvest?
Are there more berries than you can handle?
OFRE will send volunteers to your house at your convenience to pick your fruit or berries for you.
- 1/3 goes to Edmonton’s Food Bank*
- 1/3 goes to the volunteers
Fruit Pickers & Volunteers Would you like to volunteer with OFRE?
What’s involved? we are fledgling organization, so there are many parts you of the operation that you can get involved in, such as: being a fruit picker, a captain for your neighborhood, a driver to drop off donations at the foodbank and other locations, etc. You can choose how often and for what parts you would like to be involved in.
