Georgia Mountain Food Bank Executive Director Kay Blackstock and Operations Director Steve Mueller sort a few boxed items Monday afternoon as they prepare for volunteers to arrive. The food bank is launching its “Stock The Shelves” Food Drive to replenish its emptying shelves.
Food, to most people, is a nourishing meal, a way to celebrate with loved ones or a method of creativity. However, one in five Georgians are food insecure. That means a person doesn’t know when his or her next meal will be or where it will come from, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture website.
