Your Gift Today Will Be DOUBLED!
Thanks to a group of generous Giving Grove supporters, every gift made by December 31 will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $50,000.
That’s twice the impact for neighborhoods that deserve access to fresh, free food.
Help us bring more little orchards to communities across the country.
The Cost of a Peach
One evening, a woman noticed a volunteer tending a small orchard next to a neighborhood school. She crossed the street and asked a simple question:
“How much do the peaches cost?”
The answer? They’re free. And she was welcome to take some home.
Word spread quickly. Soon, a dozen neighbors had gathered, sharing stories about how much they loved fresh peaches and what they planned to make with them.
That evening, they left with 18 pounds of fresh fruit.
In a neighborhood where the only full-size grocery store closed years ago, those peaches meant something. And with nearly 99% of students at the neighboring school qualifying for free school meals, access to fresh food matters.
That is what a little orchard can do. And it’s what your generosity makes possible.
Little Orchards. Big Impact
Across the country, communities are transforming small spaces into lasting sources of fresh food, connection, and opportunity.
The Giving Grove works with local partners and volunteer orchard stewards to establish and sustain community orchards where neighbors can harvest fresh fruit, nuts, and berries, completely free.
Today, more than one million people live within walking distance of a Giving Grove orchard.
With your help, we can bring that opportunity to even more neighborhoods.
Fresh Food
Put fresh, nutritious fruit directly into neighbors’ hands.
Volunteer Stewards
Equip the volunteers who care for orchards year after year.
Outdoor Learning

The Next Time Someone Asks, “How Much Do the Peaches Cost?”
We want the answer to be the same:
They’re free.
Your gift makes that possible. And through December 31, every dollar you give will be matched, up to $50,000.
Together, we can grow more places where food is always free.
We also welcome donations by mail and from Donor Advised Funds.
