Weekend Service Goal

The main goal for our weekend service day is preparing and delivering food to children and families in our communities. And you are an essential part of that!  We have a variety of service teams from making laundry detergent to packing canned goods. Thank you in advance for serving our children in need!  We couldn't do this without you!

The Georgia Mountain Food Bank from whom we source our food has placed a new requirement on us. We are required to document that you our volunteers have received Food Safety Training. We have placed slides from the training program in our registration system and you will be encouraged to view the presentation and at the end check a box to submit that you reviewed the information. This will be required once a year.  

Thank you for helping us stay compliant and ensuring that we keep the food safe for our families.
