Criminal Sentence 324: Donate a good sentence today

From a caption in an article about needy food banks:

"United Food Bank needs volunteers to pick backyard fruit for donation that would otherwise go to waste."

I wish this sentence would go to waste. A free grapefruit for anyone who can rewrite this correctly.

Hint: misplaced modifier.

    Here is the rewrite:


    United Food Bank needs volunteers to pick backyard fruit for donation; otherwise it will all go to waste.
