Hello.  I hope everyone is managing to stay cool in this heat.

Our next Green Bag and Red Bag pick up is Saturday, August 12th.  We will pick up your bag(s) EARLY – starting at 8:00 am.  This gives the people processing the donations outside at Clark’s Market cooler working conditions.

Some of the requests that have come in are for canned meat, protein-based (low sodium) soups, shelf-stable almond or rice milk, and brown rice. 

Sedona area schools begin the first week of school in August, so please consider adding some nutritious snack items for the kids. 

Other items that are requested are spices/seasonings, and cooking oils (in plastic containers, as we cannot accept anything in glass). 

This pick-up is also our yearly collection for school supplies for our local schools.  The Staples in Sedona has sales on school supplies:  https://www.staples.com/school-supplies/cat_SC350235 and free delivery with orders over $25.

 Please place all school supplies in the plastic Red bags. 

I’ve included the list of requested school supplies for our local teachers.  These are the items that they typically buy out-of-pocket, so anything that is available through a centralized supply cabinet is much appreciated by them. 

I have lots of attachments below – have fun and THANK YOU for helping our community.

You may not expect this, but in the Verde Valley, including Sedona, many people go hungry. This program helps fight hunger in our community. Read about the Green Bag Collection here.
