Snohomish County Food Bag Project

Our Neighborhood Coordinators and team of volunteers go around to our food donor's doors, pick up a bag of food (bag is provided by us) and then deliver them to the food banks.

It’s the easiest, most effective, most empowering way to organize community support for local food banks.

February 2026  we saw the largest donation of our entire project! A total of 1,092lbs  to our local food banks!

How it works!

1. Sign up!
   Sign up to be a food Donor and/or Neighborhood Coordinator. All of the food donors are provided with one of our reusable bags.

   • Neighborhood Coordinators: Drive to their closest neighbors and pick up food donations. These donations are then taken to the local food bank and recorded for the overall monthly donation total. 

   • Food Donor: A program partner who collects non-perishable food for the food bank and leaves it in their green bag.

2. Grocery Shopping
   Food donors buy a couple of non-perishable items each time they go grocery shopping and store their items in the provided green bag.

3. Leave the Bag Outside
   A monthly program*, we pick up on the second Saturday of every month from our donors' homes. We are grateful for the generosity our current donors have demonstrated with their monthly giving. Every donor receives the option to donate on a schedule that fits their needs.

   • *The increased and ongoing need for donations at our local food banks inspired our donors to request a monthly pickup instead of every other month.  If you would like to begin with a bi-monthly (every other month) rhythm of donation, please let us know when you sign up. 

4. See The Impact! When you get an email from us, you'll also receive the numbers that the program has given in the last month. It's incredible to see what we can do when we work together. We look forward to serving our local Snohomish County Food Banks with you!
