Neighborhood Food Project

The Neighborhood Food Project is a national nonprofit that helps communities build and sustain neighborhood-based food donation programs. Our model is simple: Neighborhood Coordinators recruit a small group of Food Donors on their street, collect a bag of groceries from each household every two months, and deliver everything directly to a local food pantry. No big events, no complicated logistics — just neighbors taking care of neighbors on a regular schedule. Since 2009, this model has spread to communities across the country, collecting millions of pounds of food for local pantries while building stronger neighborhood connections along the way.
