Los Angeles Mission Signs On!

I have contacted the Los Angeles and Union Missions in Downtown Los Angeles and asked them if I could get the residents of Beverly Hills to donate and collect this excess fruit and would they be interested in receiving it. They were overwhelmed by this idea and told me that they are feeding more men, women and children than ever before because of our terrible economy. They even volunteered to use their trucks to pick up this needed fruit. I have already picked boxes of oranges, tangerines, grapefruits and lemons and delivered them to the LA Mission last week. They were so happy to receive the fruit and asked me to keep this coalition going because it really benefits the people they feed. The PTA of El Rodeo Grammar School in Beverly Hills and the Church of the Good Shepherd has also signed on to help fruit delivered to their locations so that we can have this fruit picked up and delivered to the missions and food banks in the local areas. Please join in and help in your neighborhoods. What a wonderful way to help our needy!
