- People who sign up with the Medford Food Project get a green bag to fill with food that is picked up the second Saturday of every even-numbered month.
Place your green bag on your front porch Saturday to help feed hungry people in Southern Oregon. Neighborhood volunteers pick up the bags and take them to local food pantries, who distribute the food to local families. Items needed by food banks include cereal, soups, canned meat, canned fruit, cooking oil, canned tuna, canned beans, dried beans, pinto beans, canned corn, masa, brown rice, long grain white rice, stewed tomatoes, fruit cocktail, side dishes, soy milk, canned milk, texturized vegetable protein, pasta, Hamburger Helper and Rice-a-Roni.
