Food Pantry
The Food Pantry is open every Wednesday from 9:00 – 11:00 AM. There are no income requirements, and anyone in need can receive assistance, with a full bag of groceries available once per week. Bread and sweets are also typically available each week.
CFUMC Food Pantry Monthly Drive-Through Service
The CFUMC Food Pantry is launching a new monthly drive-through food pantry as an expansion of our outreach ministry. This new opportunity will take place one Saturday each month from 10:00 to 11:00 AM and is designed to better serve individuals and families who are unable to visit the pantry during Wednesday morning hours.
The first scheduled dates are January 24, February 28, March 28, and April 24.
Volunteers are essential to the success of this ministry, and participants are asked to arrive at approximately 8:30 AM to help with preparation. Please contact Barbara Ledbetter at bledbetter@cfumcga.com to sign up for a specific Saturday if you are interested in supporting this wonderful ministry!
