UN SIMPLE GESTO
Una colecta de alimentos en curso que cambia la comunidad, una bolsa verde a la vez.
ES SIMPLE
Vecino a Vecino: Recogida puerta a puerta.
Los donantes mantienen una bolsa de supermercado reutilizable en sus cocinas y agregan un alimento no perecedero cada semana.
Cada dos meses, en una fecha determinada, los donantes dejan la bolsa frente a la puerta de su casa. Los conductores voluntarios recogen la bolsa llena de alimentos y dejan una bolsa vacía para usar durante los próximos dos meses. Los alimentos recolectados son entregados ese mismo día a varios bancos de alimentos para su distribución a los más necesitados.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED
We always need more people to help our program be as successful as it can be!
Volunteer Sorter
Sorters are one of the key components for a successful ASG pickup! The task of a sorter is to weigh donations, crossing off barcodes, checking dates on donated items, and stocking the shelves. For more information on becoming a volunteer sorter email Alyssa Medina.
Volunteer Driver
Drivers are another key component to a successful ASG pickup! The role of a driver is to pickup green ASG bags from households involved in the program. For more information on becoming a volunteer driver email Alyssa Medina.
Green Bag Member
Donations from our members are vital to the success of A Simple Gesture. A green bag symbolizes your commitment and willingness to help your neighbors in need. For more information on becoming a Green Bag Member email Alyssa Medina.
