How does it work?

It is a simple system built around two types of volunteers: Neighborhood Coordinators and Food Donors. 

Neighborhood Coordinators (NC) are assigned a neighborhood in Davis where they are responsible for food collection from food donors. Collection days happen once every other month, usually the second Saturday of the month. If a NC cannot make this drop-off date, it is their responsibility to coordinate with their assigned neighborhood to collect and drop off food donations another date/time. 

Food collected during the Food Project collection day is brought back to the STEAC Food Pantry where volunteers will sort on site. 

Food Donors (FD) are members of a NC’s group that commit to donating food once every other month. They put their non-perishable food donations in a green bag (provided by STEAC) and leave it on their doorstep/curb for the NC to collect. The NC will provide any replacement bags for the next event if needed. 

What if I have to miss a month of donations/ pick-ups?

That’s okay! You can contact your NC or the STEAC office to coordinate ahead of time so that they can plan accordingly.
