RGP achieves these goals by 1. Educating Homeowners who want to take advantage of free picking services regarding optimal tree care through pruning reminders, watering guidance and ripeness coaching.
2. Matching Homeowners who have too much fruit with Labor consisting of people and corporate teams in town that want to volunteer their time and talent to pick, sort and donate the fruit.
3. Donating The perfect produce to Organizations that feed people in the most needy zip codes in Truckee Meadows. This free food resource educates food insecure individuals about the quality of fruit that grows here and introduces them to the concept of locally grown food at no cost to them or the organizations that support them. In 2023, The RGP donated more than 34,000 pounds of fruit in the Reno Sparks and Carson Areas.
