Hands Up Harvest - Urban Fruit Gleaning Collective

Putting London’s fruit to good use by Gleaning, or picking and sharing the bounty. When a homeowner can’t keep up with the abundant harvest produced by their tree, they let us know and we mobilize a team of volunteers to pick the bounty. Do you have a fruit tree or know someone who does? Want some help picking that tree clean and putting the sweet sweet bounty to good use? Well you’ve come to the right place!

The harvest is split three ways:

The harvest is split three ways:

1/3 is offered to the homeowner, 1/3 is shared among the volunteers, and 1/3 is delivered by bicycle to local food banks, shelters, community kitchens, collective canning & community pantry project.

It’s a win-win-win solution!

Values:

Hands-Up Harvest is committed to the principles of dignity, independence, integration and equal opportunity. We believe that helping to create a country, and an organization, where every person can fully participate benefits our people, our partners and our communities.

Who we are:

With an incredible crew of volunteers, we’re making good use of healthy food, addressing climate change with hands-on community action, and building community by sharing the urban abundance.

Amazing folks contribute their skills, energy and passion to help out in the field, at community events, and behind-the-scenes. We strive to create meaningful, action-oriented opportunities that will benefit the project, volunteers, most of all the communities we serve.

Honesty:

While we strive to pick every last tree, we have a small team and interest from tree owners might outpace our capacity to coordinate picks. We’ll do our best to get to every fruit-filled tree in our operating area, but we can’t make any guarantees.
