Help keep the harvests going!
Every year, Vancouver’s 20,000 fruit trees produce hundreds of thousands of pounds of fruit. Much of this fruit is left unpicked on the ground. Meanwhile, one in ten households and one in six children under the age of 18 experience food insecurity to some degree in British Columbia*.
Since 1999, the Vancouver Fruit Tree Project has rescued surplus backyard fruit and redistributed it with community organisations working to increase food security across Vancouver.
As the 2026 fruit tree season begins, we're asking our community for support.
Our primary source of operational funding is not available to us this year. To help ensure we can continue coordinating harvests, maintaining equipment, and delivering fresh fruit to those who need it most, we're launching a 30-day campaign to raise $5,000 beginning Monday, July 13, 2026.
Every donation—big or small—helps keep the harvest going.
What Your
Gift Provides
$50 helps replace essential harvesting equipment like ladders and fruit-picking poles.
$100 helps coordinate a community harvest—from scheduling volunteers to delivering fruit to community partners.
A monthly donation provides reliable support throughout the harvest season.
All donations will help keep this season’s harvests running
With your support, we can ensure another season of harvesting backyard abundance and sharing it where it's needed most.
Thank you for helping us nourish our community and reduce food waste—one tree, one harvest, and one donation at a time.
