NBC Bay Area - The Lemon Lady. Happy Thanksgiving...


NBC Bay Area, Joe Rosato, Jr. visited the Lemon Lady on location in Concord, CA. For other details about this story from Thanksgiving Day 2009 newscast, please CLICK HERE.

What do you do when you see a fruit tree with fruit rotting to the ground? Do Nothing. Nothing will ever get done.

Let us remember Thanksgiving Day as a day to help others less fortunate. Please help harvest fruit for the hungry. Apples, oranges, lemons, persimmons, peaches, pears, pomegranates. All grow in abundance along our urban sidewalks. Call the Lemon Lady to help harvest fruit for the hungry. Or, drop a flyer and make friends with a neighbor. SHARE Fresh fruit with a local food pantry. Hunger knows no season.
Happy Thanksgiving.

A true miracle for them - a caring family rescued kittens just in time, and they found their way to my home. Little did I know, these lil' fluff balls would SAVE ME during the tough times we are going through. Just what the Doctor ordered! So much joy! Beautiful. Playful. Loved. Adored. PLEASE SHARE with the BEST possible family to give these Lil' Milk Guzzlers a permanent home with a lifetime of love they've known and so deserve. READY FOR ADOPTION SOON! By the way, kittens are now 8 weeks old, thriving and have grown to be playful, healthy lil' fluff balls with velvet fur. Please visit my Facebook page to view updates, fun photos and videos of their growth and progress. https://www.facebook.com/annaandava/ #AdoptSweetCrewOfTwo

PEOPLE Magazine Article - On Newsstands Nationwide Current Issue...






UPDATE:PEOPLE Magazine, Heroes Among Us
Once Hungry, She Now Feeds Others
May 30, 2011, page 74. CURRENT ISSUE.


April 2011, I was contacted by People Magazine to be included as a "Hometown Hero" for my volunteer work of harvesting fresh fruits and vegetables to feed the hungry. We finished the People Magazine Interview and photo shoot a few weeks ago. I understand the "lemon lady" article may publish in this week's edition of People Magazine.

Friends and Family, please keep a look out at newsstands nationwide for People Magazine.

More important - Have YOU walked on by a fruit tree today?
Do nothing. Nothing will ever get done. I can't harvest every fruit tree in America, all by myself.

FREE Fruit Harvesting for the Hungry.
FREE pick-up and delivery to local food pantries.

Any one of us can step up and make a difference to those in need. Any Town, USA. Please be inspired to help. Fruit truly matters. Thank you.
