What We Do
Neighbors donate a bag of food every two months. It is incredibly easy, because SPNFP supplies the bag and picks up the food! This provides food pantries with a steady, year-round supply of food… and provides donors with the on-going satisfaction of making a real difference.
How Do I get Involved?
Simply pick up your first grocery bag at Mt. Tabor Presbyterian Church/TaborSpace. Fill out a sign-up form so we can include you in our email “shout-out” for the semi-monthly collection. Then just bring your bag to the church/TaborSpace and we will get it to the food banks. Or, indicate on your sign-up form that you would like your bag picked up by a Neighborhood Coordinator, and that person will be in touch with you about pick-up from your front steps. Pick-ups are on the second Saturday of even-numbered months. Pick up an empty bag for your next collection when you drop off a full one, or your Neighborhood Coordinator will leave one on your doorstep.
