The Green Bag Program

The core of our charity is The Green Bag Program. It’s through this program that we are able to engage with caring community members to receive our food donations. These donations are distributed to local food pantries and are quickly put into the hands of those who need it most.

We have plenty of opportunities for you to help us drive the growth and effectiveness of The Green Bag Program. We often need drivers to pick up food, coordinators to help plan pickup days, help in spreading word of the program, and we can always use more people participating in food donation.

Take a look below to see how the program works.

Request a Bag to Get Started

To start donating, you simply need to request a green bag. We will drop off a bag to your home, along with some information about what items are most needed in our local area. You’ll place this bag outside on your doorstep on your assigned pickup day with your food donation inside. Our volunteers will pick up your bag and bring it to be sorted and taken to the food pantry.

Once you’ve signed up to be a donor and have received your bag, the best way you can help is spread the word to your neighbors and friends!

  • If your bag rips or wears out, we’ll replace it for you on pickup day with a new bag. If you misplace your bag, feel free to use a grocery bag temporarily and we’ll give you a new one on your pickup day.

  • We do! Food donations are our focus, but monetary donations help us to run the program day to day and engage in special projects. We have a donation page where you can make one-time or repeating donations, all of which are fully tax deductible.
