Food For Neighbors Seeks "Red Bag" Volunteers

By leaving food donations on your doorstep just a few times per year, you can make a big difference in the lives of area teens.

Food For Neighbors is an all-volunteer organization committed to helping local teens struggling with hunger. To date, the nonprofit has collected and distributed nearly 20,000 pounds of food. It now serves over 650 students at 9 area middle and high schools.

With your support, Food For Neighbors can reach even more students in need. Participation is as simple as filling a Food For Neighbors Red Bag once every other month and putting it on your porch or doorstep on the designated pickup days. Food For Neighbors provides the bags, a desired food list, and pickup date reminder texts.
