How Our Project Works
Every two months, Neighborhood Coordinators collect filled green bags from the neighbors they’ve signed up as Food Donors and leave an empty bag in exchange. The full bags are brought to our collection site, where volunteers weigh and sort the food. The food is then distributed to local food pantries. This simple, ongoing cycle makes it easy for neighbors to give year-round and keeps pantry shelves consistently stocked.
PICKUP DAY INFO
Pickup Days are always on the third Saturday of odd-numbered months from 9:00 to 11:00am. We will be there from 8:30am to 12:00pm and will have food and drinks for all volunteers. Pickup Days are always a great time and we hope to see you there!

Our Mission
The Georgetown Neighborhood Food Project makes it simple for neighbors to support local food pantries by providing a consistent and sustainable way to donate non-perishable food. Our mission is to strengthen local food pantries by ensuring consistent donations, raise awareness about food insecurity and health, and unite neighbors in collective action against hunger. We aim to serve as a replicable model that other communities can adopt to foster community and fight food insecurity.
