PORCH Makes it Easy
Our model is simple: monthly neighborhood food drives that directly support local food pantries.
What You'll Do as Neighborhood Coordinator
You pick the monthly collection day that works for you.

Spread the word about PORCH in your neighborhood (word of mouth, social media, email — whatever fits you)
Invite your neighbors to contribute a bag of non-perishable food each month
Check in with your pantry partner to learn what they need most
Collect and deliver the donations — and thank the neighbors who made it happen
Share your monthly totals with your Chapter Leader so we can track our community's impact
You Won't Be Starting From Scratch
Your PORCH Chapter Leader will make sure you have:
A pantry partner from day one. We already work with several local pantries — or we'll help you connect with one closer to home.
Ready-to-use materials. Introductory letters, postcards, yard signs, and social posts — delivered to you, ready to hand out.
Step-by-step guidance and training. A proven start-up process, plus ongoing support from your Chapter Leader as you get going.
A national network behind you. A resource center, peer forums, and hundreds of volunteers doing exactly what you're doing.
You bring the neighbors. We bring everything else.
