There was an LA Times article about collecting backyard fruit for food banks, and other ways to make sure the food is not going to waste. Different organizations have been formed all over California to utilize this resource that often goes to waste, since trees often produce much more than their owners can use.
You can:
- get involved as a volunteer to help pick the fruit
- volunteer the fruit from your tree
- organize a local organization to get this going in your area
- encourage the planting of more fruit trees in peoples yards, both front and back, to provide increased fruit in future years.
Aside from the resources listed in the article linked to above, a site with good resources on this topic is: http://www.ampleharvest.org
