Mission

To increase equitable access to healthful food and strengthen communities by empowering neighbors to share in the harvest and care of city-grown produce.

990 for the year ended December 31, 2024

Program accomplishments

  • Portland Fruit Tree Project another record year in 2024, harvesting 108 times and over 15,000 lbs of fruit that went to communities experiencing food insecurity. The organization also provided tree care for services for more households than in any past year and deepened the care provided to five community orchard spaces resulting in healthier and more productive trees around the region. With support from a partnership with Oregon State University Technical Assistance, we hosted 12 paid teen interns in a seasonal orchard care program where they learned work skills as well as how to tend fruit trees and use the fruit produced. For many, this was their first paid work experience. All of the participants lived in, or went to school in, East Portland - a region with lower tree canopy, more food deserts, and fewer opportunities for young people to find employment.
