Food Pantries 2022-09-18

Jane Fleming Osborn advises:

Food pantries (outdoor boxes attached to buildings or freestanding in an agency/business yard) in this area are up to fourteen.

If you have been blessed, consider refilling the shelves with non perishable foods, personal hygiene items and toiletries to help people experiencing homelessness.

The person by the food pantry is Drew Wade. He runs a group out of Quitman that helps people. BranchesofBlessingsInc. He worked with Michael Smith to get the boxes and talked to the mayor of Quitman about getting them placed. In a recent facebook post he credits that picture to Susie Vee on Saturday, September 17, 2022. If you want to contribute:
