A Simple Gesture Guilford County Updates Calendar, Adds Spring Pickups and Recruitment

A Simple Gesture’s Guilford County chapter updated its Volunteer & Events Calendar online and published a 2026 Green Bag pickup schedule organized by tag area: Blue, Green, Purple, White and Orange; the page was crawled recently. The calendar provides specific pickup dates, area assignments and volunteer signup instructions for local pantry deliveries.

Blue Tag pickups are listed as a monthly Guilford County schedule with ten dates: March 28, April 25, May 30, June 20, July 25, August 22, September 26, October 24, November 21 and December 12. A shorter fragment elsewhere on the page repeats March 28, April 25 and May 30 but shows June 13 instead of June 20, creating an internal conflict on the June Blue Tag pickup. The calendar includes the instruction, "Green Bag Volunteer Drivers: Click on the date in the area you wish to pick up filled green bags and deliver to one of our local pantry partners."

Green Tag pickups are listed under "Green Tag Pick Ups (East GSO/GC Area) & Greensboro Events" with five 2026 dates: March 14, May 2, July 11, September 12 and November 7. The Green Tag content appears in proximity to an "East Greensboro, includes McLeansville" area label, suggesting East Greensboro coverage for those dates.

The Orange Tag schedule for the High Point area — labeled "High Point Area, includes Archdale, Trinity & Thomasville" — lists six 2026 dates: February 21, April 11, June 20, August 22, October 10 and December 12. The calendar also presents an "Orange Tag Pick Ups (HP Area) & High Point Events" header alongside those dates.

White Tag pickups are presented as a West Greensboro schedule with five dates: April 11, June 13, August 8, October 10 and December 5, and an adjacent fragment explicitly linking White Tag to "West Greesboro, includes Jamestown, Summerfield and Oak Ridge." April 11 and October 10 appear both in the White Tag lists and in the High Point Orange Tag list; the December entries differ between White Tag (December 5) and Orange Tag (December 12).

Purple Tag material on the calendar identifies the program as "Purple Tags - Refugee Feeding Network (Monthy, GC Area)" and directs volunteers to "Email Maria to help pick up." No explicit 2026 Purple Tag dates are present in the supplied calendar fragments, and no email address for Maria appears on the page excerpt.

Contact and organizational details are listed on the calendar: asimplegesturegso@gmail.com and 336-547-7000; mailing address PO Box 4426, Greensboro, NC 27404; physical address 3503 Redington Drive, Greensboro, NC 27410; and EIN 47-2995932. The page also displays membership and partner references including Feeding America and Second Harvest Food Bank logos and quick links such as "Sign Up to Pick Up Green Bags" and "Donate Surplus Food."

The calendar contains several internal discrepancies — notably June Blue Tag (June 13 vs June 20) and overlapping April and October dates between White and Orange tags — that the Guilford County page lists verbatim. Volunteers seeking spring pickup assignments or clarification are directed to use the calendar sign-up features and the provided contact information. The page also invites local organizers with the line, "Want to start an ASG chapter in your community? Ask us how!
