The Sun Lakes Citrus Sharers is a group formed in 2007 in an effort to help the hungry by picking citrus from Sun Lakes homes.

Everyone knows if you have a citrus tree in your yard, the likelihood of being able to use all the citrus is small and lots of it goes to waste. The Sun Lakes Citrus Sharers organize volunteers to pick fruit from Sun Lakes citrus trees. The fruit is then donated to area food banks.

Last year 70 volunteers picked over 11 tons of fruit from homes in Sun Lakes which was donated to United Food Bank in Mesa. United Food Bank will provide the containers for collecting fruit again this year.

This year's picking will begin February 27 through the month of March. Volunteers can choose the day they would like to join other fun people for a day of fruit picking in Sun Lakes.

There will be a brief volunteer's organizational meeting at 9:00 am on Saturday 2/13 at Sisk Park Ramada in Palo Verde. If you would like to attend, please let me know so I can forward your information on to the appropriate team leader so they'll have enough pastries and coffee.

If you'd like to be a volunteer picker or if you have citrus in your yard that you would like to donate, just send me an email and I'll provide you with the Team Leader's contact information.
