The Roseburg Food Project is a revolutionary way to collect food. Neighborhood Coordinators enlist their neighbors to become Donors to the FISH of Roseburg Food Pantry.
What is it
Neighbors donate a bag of food every two months. We supply the bag and pick up the food! This provides the FISH Food Pantry with a steady supply of food and gives the Donors the satisfaction of making a real difference in the local community.
How the Food Project Works
It's a simple system, built around two types of volunteers:
- Neighborhood Coordinators (NCs) agree to organize a small group of their neighbors to become Donors. Their "neighborhood" can be a few houses, several blocks, their work place, or any group they want to coordinate.
- Food Donors are neighbors who agree to give food every two months.
When a Neighbor Joins
- The NC gives Donors a reusable green Food Project bag and suggests that they buy one extra nonperishable grocery item each week.
- Then every two months, NCs pick up each bag of food, leave an empty one, and bring the bags to the FISH Food Pantry.
When is Pickup Day?
- Pickup day is the 2nd Saturday of each EVEN month (February, April, June, August, October and December).
Next Pickup Day: Saturday, June 8th
