Portland Fruit Tree Project

Mission

Our mission is to increase equitable access to healthful food and strengthen communities by empowering neighbors to share in the harvest and care of city-grown produce.

We envision joyful communities that see every fruit tree as an abundant resource which contributes to a just food system and enhances the well-being of people, community networks, habitat, and our changing climate.

Bottom Line for Portland

Donating to PFTP is a hands on, joyful, way to increase food access and climate change in your neighborhood.

You've likely seen - or have - a fruit tree (or vine or shrub) that grew more than one household could need and dropped on the ground instead of getting eaten. When you donate to Portland Fruit Tree Project you:

🍎 help get that fruit harvested and shared with food insecure families

🍐 support planting and caring for fruit trees in low canopy/low food access neighborhoods

🪚contribute toward caring for established fruit trees around the city, so that the fruit that grows is healthy and reachable.

Quote

“It was just the perfect arrangement! The tree worked so very very hard, putting out that beautiful crop; then was treated so kindly and respectfully and gifted her efforts to those in need.” Jere, tree owner
