Georgia Mountain Food Bank raised more than $53,164.50 and received more than 6,313 pounds of food in its Stock the Shelves Campaign, which will help build up nutritional food supplies for more than 58 distribution partners. “Through the community’s support and the efficiencies of Georgia Mountain Food Bank’s operations, we raised enough to help supply more than 271,000 meals to the food insecure in our five-county service area of Hall, Forsyth, Lumpkin, Dawson and Union counties,” said Kay Blackstock, executive director at the food bank. Just after launching the campaign, the food bank received proceeds from Kroger’s annual “Can Hunger” hunger relief drive.
