*Note on fruit tree adoption: Fruit trees will be available if you live or own property within the City of Los Angeles. Verification will be required (Drivers license, ID or utility bill.) Trees are distributed on a first come, first served basis while supplies last. Limit is one tree per person, per property address. 

*Community Fruit Drive - an alternative to the traditional can drive - invites neighbors to share a portion of their backyard harvest. How to be involved: Bring a small reusable bag filled with fruit from your back yard to the Toluca Lake Earth Day Celebration. And register your fruit trees (even if they are not ripe now) atwww.foodforward.org. Food Forward will then bring the food to local charities who have use for the collection.
