Neighborhood Food Project
Building Community. Sharing Food.
A simple system that really works.
The Neighbor Food Project is an innovative, new way to fight hunger in our community. You want to help. We make it easy.
It’s all in the power of One Green Bag.
It’s Built Around 2 Easy Volunteer Jobs:
Food Donors
Fill a green bag with nonperishable food every two months and put it outside their front doors.
Neighborhood Coordinators
Pick up donors’ green bags every 2 months and take them to local food banks.
How It Works, in 3 Simple Steps
Sign Up & Fill A Bag
Neighbors sign up to be regular Food Donors. Each week when they go food shopping, they buy an extra nonperishable item (or two) and store it in our reusable green bag.
Put It Outside
Every two months—on the second Saturday of every even month—Food Donors put their green bags full of food outside their front doors.
We pick it up
Our Neighborhood Coordinators pick up bags and take them to the local food bank, where more volunteers are waiting to unload and sort the food. By the end of Pickup Day, the food is ready to distribute. That’s it!
The Good News:
EVERYBODY WINS!
