On Saturday, Sept. 6, community volunteers spread out across town to help harvest fruit on city land for North Valley Food Bank’s annual Harvest Festival.
Over 70 volunteers gathered about 2,000 pounds of fruit.
The harvest fruit was then taken to the food bank for processing, where a fun gathering and delicious meal was held.
