A Simple System That Really Works
EVERY 2 MONTHS—on the second Saturday of every even month—our Neighborhood Coordinators pick up bags of healthy nonperishable food that neighbors have left outside their front doors. They leave empty green bags for next time, and take all the food to local Food Banks. It’s that easy!

Fight Hunger in Your Own Backyard
Be a Food Donor
It takes: 15 minutes a month
Your role: Fill a green bag with nonperishable food every two months and put it outside your front door. That’s all there is to it!
Impact: One full green bag equals about ten meals. We combine your bag with your neighbors’ bags, and together we can feed the community!
Be a Neighborhood Coordinator
It takes: 1 hour a month
Your role: Pick up donors’ green bags every 2 months and take them to local food banks.
Impact: Each donor’s contribution averages 43 meals a year. With just 10 donors, you’ll provide a meal to a hungry neighbor every 30 seconds you volunteer!
Join the Support Team
It takes: Whatever time you choose
Your role: We’ve got lots big and small jobs to do! Help with anything from unloading bags of food to making phone calls to joining our Steering Committee.
Impact: In the Food Project, every job is essential. We’re an all-volunteer organization. We depend on people like you to keep us going.
