A Simple Gesture

A Simple Gesture engages the entire community to make Guilford County a wonderful place to live for all of our neighbors. Our goal is to end childhood hunger by providing a sustainable supply of food to local food banks. To participate is simple!
1. Sign up for a bag. We will deliver a cool green bag with a list of the items local food banks need the most, and a list of dates.
2. Every time you go grocery shopping, pick up one extra item, and store it in your bag.
3. On the designated day, leave your bag outside your front door. A neighborhood volunteer will pick up your bag, leave a new one, and deliver the food directly to one of our food bank partners.

We partner with BackPack Beginnings, Second Harvest, FaithAction International, and Jewish Family Services. In High Point, we partner with Open Door Ministries, Ward Street Mission, West End Ministries, Burns Hill Neighborhood Pantry, First Christian Five Loaves and Two Fishes Pantry, and Christ UMC Compassion Food Pantry.

Since our first pickup in June 2015, we have collected over 1.5 million meals for children and families in Guilford County. Thanks to so many people doing A Simple Gesture, we are working to end hunger in our community.
