A SIMPLE GESTURE

Changing our community, one green bag at a time.

​​

A Simple Gesture is a year round, ongoing food drive. It is a Neighbor to Neighbor: Door-to-Door Pickup service.

​​

Green bag members keep a green reusable grocery bag in their kitchens, adding at least one non-perishable food item every week.

Every two months, on a specified date, donors leave their green bag outside their front door. Volunteer drivers pick up the full green bag of food and leave an empty bag for use during the next two months. The collected green bags are then delivered to the Hunger and Health Coalition main and satellite site for distribution to our neighbors in need!

Volunteer Sorter

Sorters are one of the key components for a successful ASG pickup! The task of a sorter is to weigh donations, crossing off barcodes, checking dates on donated items, and stocking the shelves. For more information on becoming a volunteer sorter email Alyssa Medina.
