Hello,
I was wondering if there might be a way for us to collaborate. Perhaps we could purchase fruit from you in the summer and offer our community members a fresh local fruit box, or we could lend volunteers. Let me know in what ways we could join forces, if you are interested.
You can reach me at 204.414.2667 or via email listed above or below how ever you receive this.
Thanks for your time! I look forward to talking to someone soon.

Hi Angela,
