Clark Neighbors Food Project

The Clark Neighbors Food Project is an innovative, grassroots, 100% volunteer-run local nonprofit that organizes a network of volunteer Neighborhood Coordinators who collect food donations bi-monthly in their neighborhoods and take the food to local food pantries and school family resource centers, who then distribute the food to local individuals and families in need. Our "neighborhoods" have expanded to include local businesses, churches, and clubs.

Clark Neighbor’s Food Project (aka "The Green Bag Project") was started in Clark County in 2017 by Truman neighborhood residents. The goal was to create connection among neighbors and reduce food insecurity by making it easy for people to share food with neighbors in need.  

The Green Bag Project is growing beyond our expectations! We currently have over 2,500 food donors giving to six food pantries and 14 different school-based Family and Community Resource Centers.

Every two months, our volunteers collect over 30,000 pounds of nutritious nonperishable foods for distribution to neighbors in need.
