Keep Pick My Fruit Running

An honest ask from one person to another.

Hi, I'm James. I built Pick My Fruit because watching fruit rot while people go hungry felt like a problem I could chip away at. I'm one person working on this in my spare time. Your support keeps this running and lets it outlast me.
