As expected, November would be a busy month for the food bank; however, the need for food set a new record for serving households, daily and for the week. On Thursday, Nov. 15, the food bank served 44 households with 3,649 pounds of food in 4-1/2 hours; which was on average is 82 pounds of food, every 6-1/4 minutes. For the week, that is, the three days we are open to the public, we served 92 households, a new record.
Appling County Food Bank sets new daily and weekly record
The food bank has great appreciation to all who have supported us, to make it possible to give away food to families in crisis. We are especially thankful to the volunteers who serve unselfishly in this worthwhile ministry. Without our volunteers, this would be an impossible task. They work with a compassion and dedication that is unsurpassed.
The Appling County Food Bank is in cooperation with America’s Second Harvest, Feeding America and United Way. Locally, partnering with Feeding America, and donating food to the food bank are Harvey’s, Pizza Hut and Wal-Mart.
