We would love YOU to join US in the Ashland 4th of July parade. Celebrating our 100th pick-up and more than 2 million pounds of food (and lots of moola) donated to the Ashland Community Food Bank, showing a lot of "green" in the parade would be lovely!

The Ashland Community Food Bank volunteers will be joining us, too!

Please email Linda at [email protected] to let us know you're coming, and we'll have signs and green stuff for you to show off!

Happy 4th!

On June 13, 2026, the Ashland Food Project will celebrate our 100th green bag pick-up of donated food from neighbors’ doorsteps. Since 2009, the Ashland Food Project has collected more than 3 million pounds of food from generous Ashland neighbors and delivered it to the Ashland Community Food Bank for our community members in need.

The Ashland Food Project was formed in 2009 when a couple of children asked their parents why some of their schoolmates received free lunches. When their caring parents explained that not all families were as lucky as they were to have “enough” to provide food all of the time, the children wanted to help. They sent out an email to their friends, asking them to donated non-perishable items for the local food bank, which they would pick up from their doorsteps and deliver. All of their friends said, “yes.”

Now, approximately 2,300 households participate in our bi-monthly pick-ups (2nd Saturday of the month in even-numbered months). Our goal is to add more than 100 new food donors by June 2026.

Signing up is easy at www.ashlandfoodproject.com.

We also welcome financial donors that support our effort in bringing more than 30,000 lbs. of food to the Ashland Community Food Bank six times a year.

And, the Ashland Food Project has been a model for forming more than 100 similar nonprofit organizations across the country. Our motto of “Sharing Food - Building Community” brings us together for the common good, helping those who do not have “enough” to feed themselves or their families.
