Your support is of vital importance to the success of Not Far From The Tree. Donations ensure that our programs can be sustained and that we may reach a wider scope in our work. This results in a win-win-win situation:

  • fresh fruit donations are provided to those most in need, part of a healthy diet that is most difficult for low-income persons and families to access;
  • hundreds of volunteers are provided with hands-on learning opportunities while giving back to their communities; and
  • fruit trees are re-valued for all that they offer us, and are saved from being cut down.

With the help of our parent charity, The Catalyst Centre, your donation is tax-deductible!
