The Federal government has implemented significant budget cuts that have resonated across various essential programs, including those that support food pantries nationwide. This reduction has notably impacted Central's Food Pantry, which has seen a decrease in food supply from the Atlanta Food Bank. We invite our members to lend a helping hand by purchasing food items that will be distributed to those in need within our community. Together, we can ensure that no one goes hungry and that our pantry remains a light of hope and support. Below, you will find the guidelines for donating food to our pantry. Let's turn this challenge into an opportunity to make a difference!
The Food Pantry accepts non-perishables food item only. Food products should be in cans, plastic and paper containers. NO GLASS CONTAINER PLEASE!
