About this organization
Mission
A Simple Gesture- Greensboro engages the community to end hunger in Greensboro and Guilford County, NC. We do that by providing a door-to-door food collection program that helps provide a steady supply of food to local food banks and pantries. Three Simple Steps: 1. Throughout the month or every other month (depending on how often you want to donate), buy our most needed food items. 2. Store it in your reusable green bag. 3. On a designated Saturday pick up date, a volunteer will pick up your filled bag, leave an empty bag in its place and take the filled bag directly to our food pantry partners. It's that simple: You buy extra non-perishable food items; we do the rest.
About
A Simple Gesture (ASG) is a nonprofit hunger relief organization that collects food from generous donors. Some are neighbors, businesses and faith communities that fill green reusable grocery bags that are then collected by volunteers and distributed to our food pantry partners. Others are food industry businesses that participate in our Food Recovery Program. Our program has three main goals: 1. To ensure no child or family is hungry 2. To create new neighborhood connections and strengthen our community 3. To serve as a model for other communities The program’s founder, Jonathan Trivers, began this effort in California in 2011; there are now 65 chapters nationwide. A Simple Gesture serves Greensboro, High Point, and Guilford County and helps cities throughout the country set up their own programs. We are glad you are here and looking to help your neighbors.
