Baton Rouge Green | The Pick Event

Since 2014 Baton Rouge Green has part­nered with the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank and orga­nized The Pick Event each win­ter. Res­i­dents who have well-estab­lished trees pro­duc­ing more fruit than they can con­sume can reg­is­ter their trees online to be har­vest­ed, and Baton Rouge Green mobi­lizes and equips vol­un­teer pick­ers to col­lect the fruit which is then donat­ed to the Food Bank. The fresh fruit, grown and har­vest­ed entire­ly by vol­un­teers, is then dis­trib­uted through­out the Food Bank net­work to fam­i­lies in need across 27 parishes.
