GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KJCT) – Food Bank of the Rockies invites the community to “pear it forward”.
On Saturday, September 7th, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. participants will pick fresh pears straight from trees at Honey Rock Landing, located at 2444 Dominguez Canyon Road in Delta, Colorado.
To support the Food Bank of the Rockies’ mission, attendees are encouraged to donate half of their harvested pears to the Food Bank.
“We’re thrilled to host ‘Pear it Forward’ at Honey Rock Landing, where the community can come together, have fun harvesting fresh pears, and support our mission simultaneously,” said Gabriela Garayar, Food Bank of the Rockies Western Slope Senior Development Manager. “We believe our neighbors experiencing food insecurity should have access to nutritious food and we’re deeply grateful for community partners like Honey Rock Landing, who help create unique opportunities for the community to come together and give back.”
The Food Bank’s culinary team will also prepare an on-site brunch featuring seasonal ingredients, including pears. The event is free, but space is limited. Community members are asked to register in advance by visiting foodbankrockies.org/ws or calling 970-438-4214.
