1 in 7 Jackson County Neighbors Face Hunger. You Can Help.
Talent Food Project is an innovative, new way to fight hunger in our community. You want to help. We make it easy.
A Simple, Proven System for Over 15 Years
On the 2nd Saturday of even months, TFP Neighborhood Coordinator volunteers pick up bags of nonperishable food and toiletries from their neighbors’ doorsteps. They leave empty green bags for next time, and take all the donations to Worthwhile Talent Food Pantry for free distribution back to the community. It’s that easy! Just six bags, six Saturdays per year.
Fighting Hunger in Talent, Oregon
Be a Food Donor
It takes: 15 minutes a month
Your role: Fill a green bag with nonperishable food every two months and put it outside your front door. That’s all there is to it!
Impact: One full green bag equals about ten meals. We combine your bag with your neighbors’ bags, and together we can feed the community!
Be a Neighborhood Coordinator
It takes: 1 hour a month
Your role: Pick up donors’ green bags every 2 months and take them to local food banks.
Impact: Each donor’s contribution averages 43 meals a year. With just 10 donors, you’ll provide a meal to a hungry neighbor every 30 seconds you volunteer!
Join the Support Team
It takes: Whatever time you choose
Your role: We’ve got lots big and small jobs to do! Help with anything from unloading bags of food to making phone calls to joining our Steering Committee.
