Donate Fruit. Feed a Family in Need. Free Pick-Up and Delivery...

“Motherhood has completely changed me. It's just about like the most completely humbling experience that I've ever had. I think that it puts you in your place because it really forces you to address the issues that you claim to believe in and if you can't stand up to those principles when you're raising a child, forget it.” Diane Keaton

 

Issues I believe in:
Fruit to food banks. SHARE FRUIT TODAY! Random Acts of Kindness. All children deserve fresh apples, oranges, lemons at their breakfast table. Won't you please help The Lemon Lady save our world one little lemon, orange and apple at a time?

Random Acts of Kindness In Action:
One Lemon Lady Letter at a time. One person. One tree. It all begins somewhere. Drop a flier at the first fruit tree you see. You don't even have to cut the fruit - VOLUNTEERS are needed daily for various outreach tasks. Find me on Facebook, or Google. Please...just share some good news today! Our children need you. Citrus fruit is ripe - right now all over the Bay Area and beyond.

Volunteer Opportunities! Let's get involved. The solution to hunger is growing on trees right now.
