[BCFSN] gleaning for food in Fraser Valley

[Deanna Hurstfield]

Hi Dawn,

Check out the Gleaning Abundance Program in 
Kamloops (www.gleaningabundance.com).  Still lots 
of picks happening for plums, pears, apples.  As 
well, there are sometimes opportunities to 
gleaning / help harvest at local farms.

Take care,
Deanna
