Starting at 12 p.m. on July 13, organizers are distributing the freshly picked peaches on a first-come, first-served basis at 4908 N. Holt Ave. in Fresno.<\/p>\n

The giveaway is open to anyone while supplies last, with organizers saying they will update the public once all of the fruit has been distributed.<\/p>\n

The effort began after volunteers learned that an entire Kingsburg peach orchard would be torn out without its fruit being harvested.<\/p>\n

In response, the group organized multiple volunteer harvest events to save as much fruit as possible.<\/p>\n

Organizers are still seeking volunteers to help harvest more peaches on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

Those interested can register through the organization’s website<\/a>, where they’ll receive details about volunteer locations and schedules.<\/p>\n

The giveaway is expected to continue on Tuesday. The time is unconfirmed yet.<\/p>\n
