Thank you!
Being a Food Donor is a lot different than donating money. The items you put in the bag will soon be at the home of someone struggling with food insecurity. Your generosity is making a difference.
How To Become a Food Donor
The first thing is to see if there is a Chapter in your area. Click this link and go to the “Simple Gesture Event Manager” home page, then either using the map or drop down menu look for a Chapter near you. If you don’t see a Simple Gesture chapter you can also take a look at Neighborhood Food Project or Porch Communities.
The other thing you can do is start your own Chapter. It does take some work, but our mission is to make that process as easy as possible. Click here to learn more about starting your Chapter.
What to Donate?
Most Chapters will offer a monthly or bi-monthly pickup schedule. Their “Events Page” will have the date and time for the next pickup.
Once you are registered the next step is easy. Just fill up a bag of food and leave it out front before the pickup time. Your “Events Page” will have a ‘Needs List’ that describes the items your local pantries are hoping to receive.
Shelf stable, unbreakable, and nutritious foods are the most desirable; such as cereals, dry milk, cereal bars, baby formula, canned fruit, canned vegetables, canned meats and fish, boxed or canned juices, canned soups, peanut butter, boxed instant food, pasta/boxed pasta, boxed rice, and dried beans.
