A total of 48 volunteers gathered Aug. 6 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the orchard next to Joaquin Moraga Intermediate School for the annual Pear Harvest, organized by the Moraga Park Foundation. An email from Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano Outreach Specialist Sharon Zeppegno to MPF said, "Even with the drought and the cutting and plowing of the orchard next to Joaquin Moraga School by the fire department you were able to organize and have the volunteers pick several thousand pounds, and those pears went out (Aug. 8) at our agency distributions. Please thank everyone for helping and feeding those we support in our community."
