MormonTimes.com: LDS Church donates fruit to U.S. food pantries
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints experienced a bumper peach crop this year from its orchards in northern and southern Utah, according to Peter Evans, Welfare Services.
"Our two orchards were tended by volunteers over the summer, and then people from our local church congregations picked over one million pounds of peaches during August and September.
