Be A Food Donor

It’s quick and easy!

The Bend Food Project has developed a system that makes it easy for people to donate food. First, fill out the form below. You will be assigned to a Neighborhood Coordinator in your area, and that person will contact you and drop off one of our nifty green bags. The coordinator will tell you when the next pickup is, and you will also get an email reminder.

Then simply fill your green bag with whatever you would like to donate and on the second or third Saturday of alternate months your Neighborhood Coordinator will come by, pick up your bag of food, and leave you a bag for the next pickup.
