a way of sharing and learning from each other as we work to build healthy sustainable communities in Manitoba

Fruit Share, a volunteer organization, is dedicated to picking and sharing fresh fruit grown in backyards throughout Winnipeg. Fruit owners make their fruit available for picking by registering with Fruit Share which connects owners with volunteer fruit pickers. Once picked, the fruit is shared three ways.
