Grow ONEgeneration - Plant/Pick/Preserve with Project ReRoot

The Idea

We will be planting fruit trees at ONEgeneration's Care Facility as a part of a three part program encouraging sustainability in our community: PLANT, PICK,PRESERVE. Mulching and composting on the property will not only help the trees, but will aid in preventing drainage into the LA river.

Your Team

In addition to being involved in the planting, ONEgeneration supporters & Lake Balboa residents are urged to plant their own fruit trees & donate a portion of the harvest w/ help from Food Forward.

The Community

In honor of our first fruit harvest neighbors, volunteers, and other residents will be invited to share in a seasonal picnic, a celebration of community that will foster further involvement.

The Need

ONEgeneration serves free meals to at-risk seniors all over the Valley at their five dining halls and thru a homebound meal program. Fruit harvested will supplement these meals with fresh produce.

Location

Local residents of Lake Balboa and adjacent neighborhoods are looking forward to getting "RERooted".

Timing

Grow ONEgeneration is ready to to start PLANT PICK PRESERVE with Project ReRoot this fall.
