As a part of the "100 Seeds of Change" food system Initiative, the Social Justice Learning Institute, TreePeople and the Inglewood Unified School District (IUSD) present the 2013 Fruit Tree Giveaway Festival hosted in the City of Inglewood at Morningside High School (10500 Yukon Ave Inglewood, Ca 90303).

On Saturday, January 26th, 2013 from 10am-4pm, with volunteer support from the UCLA Volunteer Center and non-profit DoGood, the Social Justice Learning Institute will host a day filled with numerous free activities that include a film screening, physical fitness training sessions, healthy cooking demonstrations, home gardening tutorials, music, a fun zone for the children all while giving 2000 families a FREE fruit tree. TreePeople will be conducting Fruit Tree Planting & Care workshops, ensuring the success of each fruit tree distributed.

The Fruit Tree Giveaway Festival is designed to empower community residents to take hold of their access to healthy, fresh locally grown fruit by growing their own fruit trees. During the day, three IUSD schools, Inglewood & Morningside High Schools, and Bennett Kew Elementary School, are also providing the opportunity for residents & volunteers to get their hands dirty by helping to plant fruit tree orchards on their campus grounds. Join us in our community’s continued effort in taking BIG steps towards greater access to quality, healthy, organic and culturally relevant food.

We need your help. Please assist us in spreading the word about this very exciting and innovative experience to the people in your network, your friends, family members, and neighbors. 

Online registration is now CLOSED... but you can still come to the 2013 Fruit Tree Giveaway Festival at Morningside High School (10500 Yukon Ave Inglewood, CA 90303) between 10am-4pm to try and register on site.

We look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday! Be Well!
