Based on a true story, "Patricke Peartree" follows
Patricke as he earns the nickname "Peartree" because
of his fascination with his family's 75-year old pear tree
that still produces fruit. This abundance spurs his interest
in feeding the hungry with home grown produce.
Demonstrating
a proven track record of food procurement for food banks,
Patricke Peartree guides individuals and organizations willing
to enlist their backyards and other properties in the fight
against hunger - a fight that can be greatly helped by growing
orchards and gardens to produce a harvest for local food
bank programs.
In
the process, Patricke provides food for thought for young
people by teaching the importance of community involvement.
The book is a demonstration of responding positively to
negative events in life and much more.
As
a teenager, the author's family required food assistance.
Patricke Peartree was developed to plant the seed for the
many ways that a person and families can make an impact
in their community and a difference in their neighbors'
lives.
