FOOD DRIVE for the FOOD PANTRY
Over 25 years ago, the Gainesville/Hall Community Food Pantry was founded by 5 area churches, including FPC. Each church provides support including: volunteer coordinators who are members of the pantry’s Board of Directors, volunteers to serve at the food pantry, financial support for the rent for the food pantry’s facilities, food items such as bread, cheese, and butter, and food drives to support the inventory at the food pantry.
Most of the non-perishable food that the food pantry distributes comes from the Atlanta Community Food Bank while the eggs come from the Georgia Mountain Food Bank. Recently, the inventory available at ACFB has been low. The food pantry is starting to run out of some of the food that we give out on a regular basis.
Because of that, the 5 churches have decided to run a food drive together. Each church will collect certain food items that we need at the food pantry. FPC has agreed to collect the following items:
· Canned meat, such as tuna, chicken, etc.
· Canned fruit, such as peach, pineapple, mixed fruit, etc.
Please prayerfully consider contributing any or all the above items to our food drive. We will be collecting them throughout the month of July. You can leave the cans of meat and fruit in the bins in Swetenburg Hall and by the church office.
Thank you for being a blessing to the families we serve at the food pantry.
