Citrus Gleaning (Seasonal)
If you need help to glean your trees but your property is not within the designated zip codes, you can send an email to citrus@firstfoodbank.org, if you have more than 30 trees. Organizations such as Home Owners Association (HOA) with more than 70 trees but also outside the designated zip codes can also send an email. Or you can ask for bin and glean the trees and donate the fruits to St Mary’s Food Bank. Gleaning of property will be based on availability of gleaning crew.
