NEIGHBORHOOD
FOOD PROJECT

The Neighborhood Food Project allows Holy Trinity parishioners to work together as “neighbors” to address the issue of food insecurity in our region.

• Volunteers receive a reusable green grocery bag to fill with nonperishable items. (Bags are available on the Monk’s Table in the Parish Commons.)

• Each week during your usual grocery trip, simply purchase one extra nonperishable food item to put into your bag (i.e. canned goods, rice, beans, pasta, peanut butter, macaroni and cheese, cereal, etc.)

• Pickup dates in 2024 are Feb. 11, April 14, June 23, Aug. 18, Oct. 13 and Dec. 8.

• On a Pickup Sunday, leave your full green bag in the bed of Shelley Aistrup’s red Chevy pickup truck in the church parking lot, who will deliver to the Food Bank of East Alabama that Monday.

• At drop-off, pick up a new bag and repeat the process.

These regular donations help replenish the Food Bank’s shelves and provide food for the 1-in-5 residents in our area who struggle to put food on the table consistently. In 2023, our parishioners donated over 1,000 pounds of quality nonperishable items! Questions? Contact Shelley Aistrup.
