Be A Food Donor
It’s quick and easy!
The Yavapai Food Neighbors Project has developed a system that makes it easy for people to donate food. First, fill out the form below. You will be assigned to a Neighborhood Coordinator in your area, and that person will contact you and drop off one of our nifty green bags. The coordinator will tell you when the next pickup is, and you will also get an email reminder. (Pickups are on the second Saturday of alternate months.)
Then simply fill your green bag with whatever you would like to donate and on the second Saturday of alternate months your Neighborhood Coordinator will come by, pick up your bag of food, and leave you a bag for the next pickup.

KIDS WEEKEND FOOD PACK PROGRAM One out of three kids in Yavapai County are food insecure. On average, greater than 50% of Yavapai County students depend on the National School Lunch Program during the school day for breakfast and lunch. It is especially important that options for these same kids are provided when school meals are not available. That’s where the Kids Weekend Food Pack Program comes in. It ensures that nutritious, healthy foods are distributed to these children when most needed. Below you will find a listing of some suggested items to include for the program: • Individual packets of oatmeal One goal of this program is to provide nutritious and healthy foods, and therefore, it is suggested that no candy or high sugar content items be donated.
