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
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
On collection day, Neighborhood Coordinators pick up all the full Green Bags in their neighborhood and leave an empty one for next time. They then take the bags to special collection sites where volunteers are waiting to unload their cars, empty the bags, and put the food in boxes for our food pantries we partner with.
5. Distribution of Donated Food
Our partner pantries pick up their share of the collected food, sort it and have it ready to be distributed to the hungry people of Palm Beach County.
