Redmond Food Project
About Redmond Food Project
The Redmond Food Project keeps St. Vincent de Paul of Redmond's food pantry stocked year-round through a simple neighbor-to-neighbor model. Launched in 2020 and patterned on the Bend Food Project, it enlists Redmond households as long-term food donors who fill a reusable green bag every two months, collected by volunteer Neighborhood Coordinators, turning small, regular gifts into thousands of pounds of food and meals for local families.
Volunteering looks like
Neighborhood Coordinators are the heart of the project: they recruit neighbors as food donors, hand out reusable green bags, and on the second Saturday of every other month collect the full bags and leave empty ones, then deliver the food to the pantry. Food Donors simply fill a green bag with a few extra nonperishables over two months. Families often collect together, and kids love helping.
