A Simple Gesture GSO/HP/Guilford County

A Simple Gesture GSO/HP/Guilford County A Simple Gesture GSO/HP/GC is a food collection initiative that supports food banks & pantries To participate is simple! Sign up for a bag.

A Simple Gesture engages the entire community to make Guilford County a wonderful place to live for all of our neighbors. Our goal is to end hunger by providing a sustainable supply of food to local food banks. Our 3 main programs are:

Green Bag Donors (Nonperishable Food)

1. We will deliver a green bag with a list of the items local food banks need the most along with a list of pick up

dates.
2. Every time you go grocery shopping, pick up one extra item, and store it in your bag.
3. On the designated day, leave your bag outside your front door. A volunteer will pick up your bag, leave a new one, and deliver the food directly to one of our food bank partners. Food Recovery Program (Perishable Food)

Food Recovery's purpose is feeding not wasting. We partner with food industry businesses like grocery stores, restaurants, and caterers to collect wholesome, fresh leftover food to distribute to vetted food agencies. SHARE Program (in partnership with Guilford County Schools)

SHARE is part of ASG's Food Recovery Program offered to Guilford County Schools. In the summer of 2023, ASG purchased refrigerators for all 126 GCS schools. Students can store unopened food in the refrigerators for any student needing extra. Since June 2015, we have collected over 3 million meals for children and families in Guilford County. Thanks to so many people and businesses participating A Simple Gesture, we are working to end hunger in our community.

We look forward to seeing you at this year’s Food Security Summit, Cultivating Hope: Local Action, Lasting Impact. This year’s theme reflects a powerful message—that addressing food insecurity is more than just providing meals; it is collaboration, compassion, and a shared commitment to creating lasting, systemic change. Throughout the day, we will explore how each of us can cultivate hope by strengthening relationships with our community and the neighbors we serve, advocating for meaningful change, investing in and empowering our youth, and prioritizing wellness for both ourselves and community members that we serve. Together, these conversations will help us build stronger connections, foster resilience, and create a healthier, more food-secure community.

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!! 🍎🎒✏️🚸🏫

ASG is thrilled to partner with GCS with our SHARE program.

Students place unopened food items from the cafeteria in the fridge, and other students can grab items when they need extra nutrition during the school day. This program also works great for students needing a snack when staying after school for band practice, sports, tutoring and more.

Ask your kids where their SHARE fridge is in their school!
