Redmond Food Project

The Redmond Food Project is a 100% volunteer organization dedicated to the year-round collection of non-perishable foods. Our mission is to provide a consistent supply of food to the local food banks who distribute to food insecure families in our community. We are structured as a network of food donors and coordinators -- “Neighborhood Coordinators" (NC) collect non-perishable food from their "neighborhood food donors" once every two months. All food collected is given to a local food bank right here in the Redmond area. Since we began in April of 2020, we have collected over 200,000 pounds of non-perishable foods. Our goal is to continue to grow our “food donor” and neighborhood coordinator base to more adequately supply our local food bank with quality non-perishable food to distribute to our neighbors in need.

We are a local network of "neighborhood coordinators" (NC) in Redmond, Oregon who ask friends, neighbors, or co-workers to be food donors, thereby creating their "neighborhood of donors”. A re-usable green Redmond Food Project bag is given by the NC to their neighborhood of food donors. Once every two months the NC picks up filled bags and leaves an empty bag to be filled again. All filled bags are brought to a collection point. This happens 6 times per year - on the 2nd Saturday of every even month (Feb/April/June/August/October/December). 100% of the donated food is given to local food pantries to be distributed to our Redmond neighbors who are food insecure
