How It Works
EVERY 2 MONTHS—on the second Saturday of every even month—our Neighborhood Coordinators pick up bags of healthy nonperishable food that neighbors have left outside their front doors. They leave empty green bags for next time, and take all the food to local Food Providers. It’s that easy!

That’s TEN THOUSAND POUNDS MORE THAN OCTOBER!
Thank you to all our Volunteers and Green Bag Food Donors!

The Prescott Community Cupboard
The Prescott Valley Food Bank
