Fighting Hunger in Redmond. One Green Bag at a Time.
The Redmond Food Project provides a simple way to support those with food insecurity. Every two months, neighbors fill reusable green bags, and volunteers collect and deliver the donations.
How It Works
The Redmond Food Project provides a practical way for neighbors to support local families. Its coordinated collection system makes regular food donation possible.
Sign Up
Join the Redmond Food Project and receive your reusable green donation bag. Once you're part of the program, you'll be included in up to 6 collection days each year.
Fill Your Bag
Before each collection day, add non-perishable food items to your green bag. Fill it in no time with a few extra items every time you shop for yourself.
Leave It Outside
On collection day, simply place your green bag outside your door. Your neighborhood coordinator will collect it along with other bags in your area.
Volunteers Deliver
Neighborhood coordinators gather food donations and deliver them directly to the St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry, where it is distributed to families who need it most.
Community Impact in Redmond
The Redmond Food Project helps create a steady flow of donated food across Redmond. Through a simple neighborhood-based system, local households contribute on a repeating cycle and volunteers deliver it to St. Vincent de Paul in Redmond.
