Our October pick-up, as well as our 8th Year Anniversary, is approaching quickly, and the need is great -- the food bank's shelves are as bare as we've ever seen them in the weeks leading up to a pick-up day. We are always deeply grateful to you because we know those shelves won't be bare for much longer! Our drivers will be stopping by to pick up your filled red bag on Saturday, OCTOBER 14th, so please mark your calendars.
Also, October's "Special Request" is our annual granola bar collection for our friends at Food To Go - Anacortes, who provide weekly food bags for approximately 200 local students in need during both the school year and the summer months. We encourage you to include granola bars for our community's kids in your red bags!

If you will be missing Saturday, October 14th's pick-up, please be sure to email us to let us know so we do not needlessly stop by your home. If you've already notified us via email, you do not need to notify us again.
If you prefer to drop your bag off directly to The Salvation Army (TSA) food bank instead of having us pick it up on October 14th, feel free to do so, but please email us to let us know you will not need pick-up at your home. This does not apply to those donors who have "Drop Off Status," as confirmed by A Simple Gesture.
Finally, we gratefully accept monetary donations, which can be made via either our ASG Square site or check payable to A Simple Gesture - Anacortes, mailed to P.O. Box 1413, Anacortes, WA 98221.
