STEAC Food Project

Feeding Davis One Bag at a Time

The STEAC Food Project’s mission is to help Davis’ STEAC Food Pantry have a steady, reliable source of non-perishable food year-round by collecting food from community members every other month. While food drives are an invaluable and critical source of food, they provide only about 30 to 40% of our needs and we often run short between these events.

A Simple System That Really Works

EVERY 2 MONTHS—on the second Saturday of every even month—our Neighborhood Coordinators pick up bags of healthy nonperishable food that neighbors have left outside their front doors. They leave empty green bags for next time, and take all the food to the STEAC Food Pantry in Davis. It’s that easy!

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!
