Mission

A Simple Gesture- Greensboro engages the community to end hunger in Greensboro and Guilford County, NC. We do that by providing a door-to-door food collection program that helps provide a steady supply of food to local food banks and pantries. Three Simple Steps: 1. Throughout the month or every other month (depending on how often you want to donate), buy our most needed food items. 2. Store it in your reusable green bag. 3. On a designated Saturday pick up date, a volunteer will pick up your filled bag, leave an empty bag in its place and take the filled bag directly to our food pantry partners. It's that simple: You buy extra non-perishable food items; we do the rest.

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Guilford County is one of the hungriest metropolitan areas in the United States. 50,000 students in Guilford County schools are food insecure. A Simple Gesture believes that this community can take care of its own. ASG supports local food efforts by providing free perishable, nonperishable, and prepared food free of charge.

Green Bag Food Donor

Our Green Bag Food Donor program engages our community to care for each other, by ensuring no one goes hungry. Donors fill a reusable green grocery bag with nonperishable food every 30 or 60 days. On a scheduled pick up day, volunteer drivers collect the food and deliver it directly to local food banks and pantries on the same day. Our food pantry partners distribute the food to local schools and to families in our community who need it the most.

Food Recovery

Food recovery is the collection of wholesome edible food that would have otherwise gone to waste from restaurants, grocers, and other foodservice providers. This perishable food is redistributed to vetted local hunger agencies, all while keeping it out of landfills.

Population(s) Served

Children and youth

Adults

Our SHARE program is a food recovery program offered in our schools in Guilford County. ASG finished placing refrigerators in all 126 schools in the district in the summer of 2023. Students who have extra unopened, prepackaged and individually wrapped food including produce, milk and juice place these items in the designated SHARE refrigerator. These items are made available to any student within the school at any time during the day.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for anyone in the community to give food to our local neighbors. We ask individuals to fill a bag of food and leave it on their porch once every month or every other month. We ask food industry businesses such as restaurants, caterers, event spaces, and wholesalers to donate their surplus food which we pick up and immediately take to local nonprofits. We ask students to put their uneaten food into a SHARE refrigerator so their peers can get a snack or meal any time they need one. As each of us does our part, we are ending hunger for our entire community.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

All that we do is aimed at ending hunger. We also have a major focus on reducing methane gas that is released into the environment from food waste. We follow the Food Waste hierarchy to reduce food waste at every level. Throughout the year we speak at dozens of venues and host forums to educate the public on how they can continue to be part of the solution. We also have been integral in creating North Carolina's Food Waste Standard Operating Procedures.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

A Simple Gesture strives to make every step of our process easy, convenient and effective. Donors simply put extra food items in a reusable bag each week and put the bag on their porch for pick up. In addition, food industry businesses let us know when they have a surplus of perishable food. Volunteer drivers pick up the food and drop it off at a designated local food bank and pantry partners. These small gestures, which are not a burden on any one person, is having a massive impact on a new flow of food.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

We've collected over 3 million meals in just 8 years from more than 4,500 donors and dozens of businesses. We are thrilled to be the only school district in the nation that has SHARE refrigerators in every school, a total of 126 in our district. Students can learn early how to be a part of the solution to end hunger.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
