Ashland Food Project is an innovative way to reduce hunger in our community. You want to help. We make it easy.
EVERY 2 MONTHS—on the second Saturday of every even-numbered 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 the Ashland Community Food Bank. It’s that easy!
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!
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!
It takes: Whatever time you choose
Your role: We’ve got lots of 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.
Our community is fed because of your kind action! Thank you!!!!! ACFB has been independent and fortunate to remain vibrant because of the generosity of friends and neighbors for 53 years.
ACFB is committed and actively strategizing to best meet the coming wave of need. We are grateful for the bedrock of your support.
