Donate Your Grocery Bags

submitted by greena@augsburg.edu

Campus Kitchen can repurpose your clean, in-tact grocery bags for our produce deliveries on Saturdays! Paper bags work best, but we’ll take plastic ones as well. Drop off your bags at the Campus Kitchen closet near the elevator on the top floor of Christensen.

Every Saturday, we glean produce at the Mill City Farmer’s Market and then pack ~40 grocery bags for elders in The Cedars apartment building a few blocks away. Imagine your leftover grocery bags given new life as they are stuffed with greens, squash, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, and all kinds of good smelling herbs!
