How It Works
Our simple system is built around 2 kinds of volunteers: Food Donors and Neighborhood Coordinators
1. Sign Up
Neighborhood Coordinators sign up friends and neighbors to be regular Food Donors. Every Food Donor gets our reusable green bag.
2. Shop for a Little Extra Food
Each week when Food Donors go food shopping, they buy an extra nonperishable item (or two) for hungry neighbors, take it home and store it in the bag.
3. Leave the Bag
Every two months—on the second Saturday of every even month—Food Donors put their green bags outside their front doors.
4. Deliver the Food
Neighborhood Coordinators pick up all the full green bags in their neighborhoods and leave the empty ones for next time. They take the bags to the Ashland Community Food Bank where volunteers are waiting to unload their cars, empty the bags, and sort all the food.
Everybody Wins!
By the end of the day, all the food is ready to distribute to our neighbors in need. We share the good news about how much food we’ve collected. Then we do it again!
