Do you have a fruit tree that needs picking? Instead of letting the fruit land on the ground and go to waste, consider turning the fruit into a tax-deductible donation by giving it to Friends in Deed, a Pasadena-based, non-profit food bank.
In fact, if you're planning and preparing a garden, why not consider planting a few extra rows or vegetables for Friends in Deed.
It's all for a good cause. In fact, last year, our garden club's organizers donated 2000 pounds --yes, that's one ton -- of fruits and vegetables to Friends in Deed. (Learn more about the First Fruits Garden Club goals and meetings.)
If you have questions, or want to get involved helping feed people who are truly in need, send me a private e-mail.
