Volunteers can keep unwanted fruit or turn it in to Western Cider at 501 N. California street any day of the week between noon and 6pm--40lbs of good apples or pears will earn you a cider coupon. To volunteer, contact Elissa Chott at <a href="mailto:elissa@greatbear.org">elissa@greatbear.org</a> or 406-829-9378. Thank you!</div>
