SOVA:  The Big Pick

My blog posting on this Slow Food LA social action project at:

blog.experiencela.com/2009/03/big-pick-b enefitting-jewish...

Purpose of the event was to pick over 4 tons of oranges for SOVA's food pantires for distribution of the next week. Well over 60 people volunteered with very little notice. SOVA is a program of Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles.

See the LA Times blog posting on this event that used the above picture from this group:

This project gave birth to a program now known as Food Forward:
