Fruit Crew and Grow Free
Fruit Crew
The Campbelltown Fruit Crew are a small group of trained volunteers who rescue excess fruit from households in the Campbelltown Council area. The collected fruit then goes to participating local schools, programs and organisations that work with people in need.
The project aims to save excess home grown fruit from going to waste.
Since commencing in late 2016 the Fruit Crew have collected and distributed over 3000kg of fruit – that’s the equivalent of an adult hippopotamus!
To become a Fruit Crew volunteer or to request the Fruit Crew come and pick your excess fruit please contact Sophie Kavoukis, Community Development Officer (Neighbourhoods), on 8366 9303 or skavoukis@campbelltown.sa.gov.au.
Grow Free Cart
“Take what you need, give what you can”
Grow Free Carts are free food sharing spaces for the whole community!
Council operate a Grow Free Cart in the foyer of the Campbelltown Library and everyone is welcome to leave and/or take fresh home-grown produce from the cart. Look out for information leaflets and signs that tell you what you can and cannot contribute.
To find other Grow Free Carts in your neighbourhood, check the map at http://www.growfree.org.au/cart-map.
